Answer 1

The oregon territory was the state of Oregon before it became a state, when the united states was first being formed and people were discovering the new western lands they called them territories until they were voted into statehood.

Answer 2

The Oregon Territory was the area that included Oregon, Washington, and parts of California that were not owned by Mexico. Maybe you should pay attention and not procrastinate.

Answer 3

I think that was a territory that not only became the state of OR but also WA, IL, & probably parts of MT & WY. I think b4 it was a territory, it was "Oregon Country." & there was a border dispute w/ Canada which meant that the U.S. coulda had a good piece of southern BC as well, dubbed "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight!" (I used 2 play that game in my 6th grade class too, skip!)

Answer 4

Maybe you should pay attention in class. That was Oregon before it was a state.
