"Fifty-four forty or fight" was a slogan associated with the expansionist movement in the United States during the 1840s, particularly regarding the Oregon Territory. It referred to the latitude line of 54°40′ north, which was the northern boundary desired by some American politicians and settlers for U.S. claims to the territory, which was jointly occupied by the U.S. and Britain. The phrase encapsulated the U.S. willingness to go to war over the territory, although the dispute was ultimately resolved peacefully through diplomacy in 1846, establishing the border at the 49th parallel.
