Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led an expedition also known as the Corps of Discovery to explore the newly acquired land from the Louisiana Purchase. They were commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson.
Louis and Clarke
US President Thomas Jefferson brokered the purchase of the Louisiana territory from Napoleon. Jefferson chose his personal secretary, and neighbor Meriwether Lewis, to lead the exploration of the new US territory. When he needed a partner, however, to help his expedition, Lewis agreed to have William Clark to share the leadership of the exploration of the Louisiana Territory. Sharing the command of the mission, was at the time, a sign of humbleness and Lewis' intelligence to share the duties was a correct one. Therefore, history records that the Lewis and Clark expedition explored the Louisiana Purchase.
They explored and mapped the western territory the United States just purchased.
