Give two examples of how the United States and Great Britain settled differences over land ownership.

the U.S. Senate was not willing to fight for that high northern border. The government preferred to compromise since it was preparing to embark on a different border war: the Mexican War. The British first suggested that the 49-degree line be extended to the Columbia River and then along the river to the sea. This would have given Britain the entire Columbia River, as well as Puget Sound. American negotiators rejected the proposal and countered by suggesting a simple straight line, clear across the continent -- the 49-degree line, straight through Vancouver Island, cutting the island in two.

lmk if this helps! :))

b) the confederacy had to pay all union war expenses.
