A Northwest Passage to Asia
The Northwest Passage, a sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Arctic, fueled American expansion by providing a potential shortcut for trade and exploration. Its allure encouraged exploration in the 19th century, leading to increased interest in the Arctic and the acquisition of territories in North America. The pursuit of this passage also spurred advancements in navigation and shipbuilding, which further facilitated westward expansion and the establishment of American presence in the Pacific region. Ultimately, the quest for the Northwest Passage symbolized the broader ambitions of Manifest Destiny and the nation’s growth.

His vision laid groundwork for future American exploration in the region.
