just out of interest sakes, did anyone own the western areas of the US at the start of this game? Spain was it?

In 1836, the Oregon Territory was disputed between the US and the UK. California and the Southwest were Mexican, the Spanish being driven out not to long before.

The wide stretch of land between Ohio and the Oregon was claimed by the Americans, though sparsely settled by whites.
