Thomas Jefferson persuaded Meriwether Lewis to lead an expedition to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. He appointed Lewis as the commander of the Corps of Discovery and also selected William Clark as his second-in-command. The expedition, known as the Lewis and Clark Expedition, aimed to map the territory, establish trade with Native American tribes, and find a practical route to the Pacific Ocean.
