Imajin said:Well, if I recall a big reason why Polk pushed for annexation (and division) was because he planned to add "slave territory" to the US (The Mexican Cession), and thus realized that he had to get some "free territory" to compensate. So, you have to have a non-expansionist...
The Oregon cession happened before the Mexican Cession, though. And Texas Annexation alone was causing huge problems at the time....Glen said:Or not much more to expand into. Maybe less of a Mexican Cession?

The PNW is nice land though, with lots of resources...but then, wasn't Oklahoma considered good farmland?
