    Answer: D. Fifty-four forty or fight

    Explanation:

    The rallying cry "54-40 or fight!" became popular among Democrats. Polk wanted territory, not war, so he compromised with the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Aberdeen. The Oregon Treaty of 1846 divided the Oregon Country along the 49th parallel, as in the original US proposal.
