Thomas Jefferson had dreamed of exploring the West for at least 20 years before he even became President. In 1783 he had asked William Clark's brother, George Rogers Clark, to take on the challenge. George Rogers Clark was a well-known Revolutionary War hero, and Jefferson felt he was very suitable for the task. George politely declined however, and Jefferson though such an expedition would never get off the drawing table, but that all changed after purchasing the Louisiana territory years later.

The correct answer is Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States, serving from 1801 to 1809. He was a leading figure during the Classical period, known for his role in drafting the United States Declaration of Independence and his support for the expansion of democratic ideals. Lincoln Jackson is not a historical figure and did not serve as the president of the United States.
Lewis and Clark were explorers, leading the famous 1803 expedition - the Corps of Discovery - from the Missouri to the Pacific Ocean; a trek intended to study the land and its characteristics and report back to President Jefferson. Although Lewis and Clark were soldiers, as were most of their expedition members, it was not a warlike excercise but simply an information-gathering expedition which turned out to be hugely successful and was accomplished with only one death, thought to be from appendicitis.
In that time frame, the best fit is Thomas Jefferson. Lincoln was born in 1809, and Jackson wasn't President until 1829.
The Lewis and Clark expedition helped to expand geographical knowledge of North America, leading to increased exploration and settlement of the western United States. Their journey also facilitated better relations with Native American tribes and established a foundation for US claims to the Pacific Northwest. Today, their expedition is celebrated as a significant event in American history and contributes to our understanding of the nation's westward expansion.
