The United States had a stronger claim to the area around the mouth of the Columbia River than the British for several reasons. Here's an explanation of those reasons:
1. Exploration and Discovery: In the late 18th century, American explorers like Lewis and Clark charted the region west of the Rocky Mountains, including the Columbia River. This exploration helped establish a sense of territorial rights for the United States.
2. Treaty of 1818: The Treaty of 1818 between the United States and Britain provided for a joint occupation of the Oregon Country (which included the area around the mouth of the Columbia River) for ten years. However, it did not grant any permanent rights to one party over the other.
3. American Settlement: Following the Lewis and Clark expedition, American settlers began to move into the region, establishing communities and trading posts along the Columbia River. This increased American presence and settlement further strengthened their claim to the area.
4. Contiguous Territory: The United States argued that its claim to the region was justified by the principle of "contiguous territory." They believed that the territory along the same latitude as the existing United States should belong to them. The mouth of the Columbia River fell within this latitude.
5. Treaty of 1846: Eventually, negotiations between the United States and Britain led to the signing of the Oregon Treaty of 1846. Under this agreement, the boundary between the United States and British claims was set at the 49th parallel, well north of the Columbia River. This effectively established the United States' claim to the area around the river.
In summary, the United States had a stronger claim to the area around the mouth of the Columbia River due to exploration, American settlement, and negotiations with the British, which resulted in the Oregon Treaty of 1846.
