Did Louis and clark use the Oregon trail Oregon trail?

No, the Oregon Trail was used by people moving to settle in Oregon later in the Nineteenth Century. It didn't exist yet when Lewis and Clark surveyed the land the United States gained in the Louisiana Purchase. In fact, the Oregon Territory was not even a part of the Louisiana Purchase.


Why was the voyage of Louis and Clark after the Louisiana Purchase so important?

The Lewis and Clark expeditions were vital for exploring the land the country had just purchased. No one was willing to settle out west until the land had been surveyed for potential dangers.


How did the Louisiana purchase start?

It began with negotiations between the US and France to allow the US to purchase the port and city of New Orleans from France. However Napoleon decided he needed more money than the US was offering to help finance his wars in Europe and countered with an offer to sell all of France's remaining territory in North America if the US offered a larger sum of money. Nobody had surveyed these territories and neither the US or France really knew what lands were involved in the deal nor their boundaries. This was why the US had to send the Lewis and Clark Expedition after the purchase to evaluate and estimate the lands they had purchased and their potential resources.
