The Lewis and Clark expedition was an exploration journey commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson in 1804 to explore and map the newly acquired western territories of the United States. Led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the expedition aimed to find a route to the Pacific Ocean, establish relationships with Native American tribes, and document the natural resources of the region. The expedition lasted from 1804 to 1806 and provided valuable information about the geography, flora, fauna, and Native American tribes of the American West.
They sent back animals and plants for Thomas Jefferson to study and marvel at. I hope this answered your question!
