The Lewis and Clark expedition created by US President Jefferson, brought back important information that was helpful to the US. No one knew exactly would be found during the expedition, however, the expedition mapped out more definitely what the boundaries of the Louisiana Territory were and what wildlife and Native Tribes were discovered. The expedition also put to rest the idea that there was a northwest waterway to Asia via the territory.

to find new land for the us government right after the revaluation.
Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809) and William Clark led an expedition to the Louisiana Territory and US Northwest from 1804 to 1806, referred to as the Corps of Discovery.
Jefferson conceived and ordered the Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the Louisiana Purchase. Additionally, Jefferson wished to validate US territorial claims, as purchased from France, over prospective claims by Spain.
He sent Lewis and Clark on an expedition west. He led to the US getting the west.
TO see if there was any valuables in that hidden land that they had purchased from the french. ;)
