What did President Thomas Jefferson call the group of people who went on the Lewis and clark expedition of the new land purchased?
Thomas Jefferson did not name the group himself. He commissioned only Capt. Meriwether Lewis (his Secretary of State) to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory. Before Lewis met up with Clark, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. Lt. William Clark would offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). Being that Lewis had been given full authority as leader of the expedition, he had been the one to choose Clark to join the team. Only then did they then named their team the "Corps of Discovery." From there, they sailed down the Ohio River towards St. Louis.
