I just read about this a week ago and I can't remember for sure but I think Lewis and Clark were sent to explore, and make trails in the area that was purchased in the Louisiana purchase. So I think Lewis and Clark came second.
The Lewis and Clark expedition did not gain any land for the United States. The expedition was sent to explore land that was recently purchased from France. The area was known as Louisiana territory.
Lewis and Clark explored the western portion of the United States, specifically the area that is now known as the Louisiana Purchase. Their expedition, known as the Corps of Discovery, took them through present-day states such as Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Montana, among others.
Members of the Lewis and Clark expedition were the first white people to explore the area now known as Montana. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark are famous explorers who explored a lot of the western part of the United States.

Meriwether Lewis led an expedition to explore the western territories of the United States, notably the Louisiana Purchase, on behalf of President Thomas Jefferson. The Lewis and Clark Expedition aimed to find a water route to the Pacific Ocean and to establish American presence in the region.
