The slogan "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight!" refers to the boundary dispute between the United States and Britain over the northern border of the Oregon Territory in the mid-19th century. Specifically, it signifies the latitude line of 54 degrees 40 minutes, which some American expansionists believed should be the northern limit of U.S. territory in Oregon. The slogan encapsulated the intense nationalism and desire for territorial expansion during that period, although the dispute was ultimately resolved peacefully at the 49th parallel in 1846.
"Fifty-Four Forty or Fight!" was a slogan associated with the Oregon boundary dispute in the mid-19th century. It referenced the latitude line of 54°40′, which American expansionists claimed as the northern border of the Oregon Territory. The slogan encapsulated the U.S. desire for territorial expansion and was used during the 1844 presidential campaign, notably by James K. Polk, who advocated for American interests in the region. Ultimately, the dispute was resolved peacefully with the Oregon Treaty of 1846, establishing the border at the 49th parallel.

Maybe you are referring the campaign slogan, "Fifty-four forty or fight". Polk settled for quite a bit less without doing any fighting at that point.
