Zebulon Pike
The southern half of the Louisiana Territory was explored by French explorer Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle in the late 17th century. He claimed the region for France and named it La Louisiane after King Louis XIV.
Pike's expedition and Lewis and Clark's expedition were both exploratory missions commissioned by the U.S. government to explore the newly acquired territory of the Louisiana Purchase. Pike's expedition focused on the southern portion of the Louisiana Territory, while Lewis and Clark focused on the northwestern portion. Both missions provided valuable information about the geography, flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples of the region.
It depends. In the beginning the Louisiana Territory belonged to Spain. When America finally got a hold of the Louisiana Territory, it did give us a southern seaport and increased the size of the United States.
