Did Lewis and Clark go in search of a water route from the Midwest to the Pacific Ocean?
Lewis and Clark did not discover the Pacific Ocean, they knew it existed long before their expedition. They were in fact assigned to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory and find the "easiest way" to the Pacific. They certainly weren't looking for a "Northwest Passage."

How did meriwether lewis's accomplishments contribute to his country?
It is important to note that Meriwether Lewis couldn't have completed the expedition without the help of William Clark and Sacagawea. In fact, President Thomas Jefferson asked Lewis to lead the expedition, but Lewis wanted help from Clark. The Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1805 gave people an idea of what the Great Plains was like. If they hadn't made that expedition, it probably would have been much longer before pioneers attempted to cross to California and the Pacific Northwest, as well as the fact that it would have been longer before people settled in the Great Plains. They also established friendly relations with many of the tribes, which made it safer for those who would travel and settle in the frontier. However, the expedition was of no benefit to the Native Americans, and only accelerated the speed at which they were driven from their land and their way of life.
