with the ability to help…[and] to harm.” Expanding upon his reflection to see varying social perspectives on American expansionist, colonial and slave society contexts, one notes that officials of European descent including Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and John Eliot converted white words and ideas into literal and figurative terms that they believed Native Americans mutually understood to persuade tribal leaders to adopt white mores. Accordingly, some Native Americans responded to these jabs of

My thesis is, Why did Lewis and Clark wanted to go explore the West and what was the outcome ? In the year of 1803 President Thomas Jefferson bought a piece of land from France and after the Louisiana Purchase Treaty was made by Thomas Jefferson. He wanted people to explore the west. Thomas Jefferson asked his personal secretary Meriwether Lewis to explore and Lewis asked his friend William Clark to help him explore the west. Lewis was Thomas Jefferson's personal secretary when Thomas Jefferson

The importance of the Lewis and Clarks expedition for America was immense. It changed the future country by strengthening the America’s claim to the areas north of California which would become Washington and Oregon. Lewis and Clark had great success which might not have happened without peaceful cooperation with the Indians. Lewis and Clark proved there was no Northwest Passage but showed the feasibility of an overland route to the Pacific Ocean. This opened up the area to further exploration and

even signed the contract sealing the deal, President Thomas Jefferson had already recruited a close friend and fellow botanist, Meriwether Lewis to explore the new Territory. Before the public even knew about the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark Expedition had set out. The Louisiana Purchase was a good idea because it provided room for rapidly-expanding America to grow and explore at an incredibly low price but also increased America’s global prowess. The Louisiana Purchase

     Quite possibly one of the most important purchases in the history of The United States was the one in which Thomas Jefferson enabled the size of the country to double. The territory was the Louisiana Territory, the 820,000 square mile piece of land was bought for 15 million dollars which equaled out to about three cents an acre.      The United States originally only wanted to buy the port of New Orleans. Thomas Jefferson wanted to

In May of 1804, two men set out on an important journey that would take them across the country and discover new land, but none of it would have been possible without the aid of one woman. The Lewis and Clark Expedition was planned by Thomas Jefferson, in order to explore the unknown in the newly purchased Louisiana Territory, and also to find a water route across the continent. Along the way the group of men met a quiet native, named Sacagawea, whose impact would later have a large effect on the

The death of America’s greatest explorer, Meriwether Lewis is a mystery. Some say it was suicide and others say it was murder. It was unlikely that Meriwether Lewis committed suicide. This shows that there is more evidence that he was murdered instead of him committing suicide. Also, there were investigations that he was murdered instead of him committing suicide. These include the investigation of the dead body and the investigation of the letters that were written about Meriwether Lewis. It is

Indians occupied “the heart of the world”, present day North Dakota, where the Heart River joins the Missouri River. They were once cradled prosperous human settlements, but Mandan Indians are only mentioned in History when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark spent the winter with them in 1804-1805**. Elizabeth A. Fenn took a trip to North Dakota in 2002, and she had an urge to write about Mandan Indians. For twelve years, she spent time to gather and learn every aspect that can bring Mandan Indians.

States to research the many things that are there for them. He selected Meriwether Lewis who then selected William Clark who were both in the army. They were to study the landscape, wildlife, and other natural features. They were also to try and communicate with the Native Americans and try and find a waterway route between the Mississippi River and the Pacific. In 1804, Lewis and Clark departed from St. Louis. They had three boats with supplies and 40 men one of which was an enslaved man named York

Thomas Mendenhall, a traveling merchant, would take the settlers products to Salt Lake and trade the produce for them, bringing back what they needed for exchange. Mr. Merrick and Mr. Duffin had created a little store on the north side of the fort area, with William Whitehead as the clerk. Despite the limited supplies and stock, the mines in Montana also offered good opportunities for the settlers to trade. Exporting flour, butter, eggs, grain and other supplies, in exchange, for the mules, horses
