The Lewis and Clark expedition provided valuable information about the geography, flora, and fauna of the western United States. It helped to establish US claims to Oregon Territory and paved the way for future expansion. The expedition also improved knowledge of Native American tribes in the region.
TO see if there was any valuables in that hidden land that they had purchased from the french. ;)
The Lewis and Clark expedition paved the way for westward expansion, which exploded after their successful trek across the continent. It was one of the most successful expeditions ever undertaken, and ended well. For more information, see link below.
Lewis and Clark found a Monkeyflower, thin-leaved owl cover, purple prairie clover, mariposa lily, and pink elephants "so-you-wund"
He wanted to see the Louisiana territory, because America just bought it from France. So not everyone knew what it looked like. He sent Clark and Lewis to explore it. My source is being in History class. :)

Contrary to popular belief, the expedition DID NOT begin in St. Louis, Missouri. The first entry in the Lewis and Clark Expedition Journals state that the journey began in Pittsburgh, PA on August 30, 1803. Lewis, who had been assigned by Jefferson sailed down the Ohio River with supplies towards St. Louis.If you don't believe that the expedition began in Pittsburgh, please check the related link below. It leads to a copy of the original Lewis and Clark Journals online. If you click the first entry, you will see that this is true
Lewis and Clark, sadly, never actually saw the Pacific Ocean. They landed at the mouth of the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon on November 7 1805. The day was rainy and foggy, and the Columbia River estuary was four or five miles wide and they could not see the Oregon side of the river or Point Adams at the mouth of the river in the distance. But they were close enough to have reached their goal.
