The Oregon Border 1. Fifty-four Forty or Fight!! a. Newspapers created this slogan to set the northern boundary for the territory. b. The British said “OK”

7 E. "California, Here I Come......" 1. Americans were starting to move to California – but Mexico refused to sell it to us. F. The Mormons in Utah 1. Joseph Smith – Palmyra, NY a. He claimed that he had received a message from God and found The Book of Mormons b. This angered some people who were upset with the belief in polygamy (having more than one wife) and actually killed Smith. 2. Brigham Young a.

12 C. Clay's compromise is adopted 1. Utah and New Mexico should decide for themselves about the issue of slavery (popular sovereignty) 5. The union is saved for now. Think About It….
