The Convention of 1818 resolved several key issues between the United States and Britain, primarily regarding boundary disputes and territorial claims. It established the 49th parallel as the border between the U.S. and British Canada from the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains. Additionally, the agreement allowed for joint occupation of the Oregon Territory, fostering peaceful coexistence and collaboration in the region. This treaty helped to ease tensions and laid the groundwork for future U.S.-British relations.
