Problems With Britain Cultural conflicts The Caroline / McLeod incident (1837) 1840-1842: Disagreement over the Canadian/Maine border “Aroostook War” Webster-Ashburton Treaty (1842) Oregon: “54 40 or fight!” Britain or US has control? Britain's Hudson’s Bay Company Fur Trading, Lumber American missionaries 1840s: Oregon Fever Conflict over Oregon?

Election of 1844 Tyler unpopular Americans anxious over Oregon, Texas, Mexico Manifest Destiny Henry Clay vs. James Polk Polk a “dark-horse” candidate (Young Hickory) Polk: expansionist candidate Polk wins Democrats in White House again

Conclusion 1) Why were the Whigs hopelessly crippled, despite winning the Presidency? 2) How did the Oregon problem impact the 1844 elections? Was this Tyler’s fault?
