Lewis and Clark traveled west at the beginning of the 19th century in order to achieve one fundamental aim: to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory of the United States. Driving the exploration was the urgent hope to find a viable pathway (or, passage) for trading purposes that would connect the eastern portion of the U.S. with the Pacific Ocean.
