Considering the Lewis and Clark expedition, the fact that they were part of a scientific expedition was extremely important, especially during the Age of Enlightenment. The new knowledge they obtained about the Northwest's geography, Natural Resources, and native inhabitants sparked American interest in the west, and strengthened the nation's claim to the area. This then spread the idea of 'Manifest Destiny' as Americans increasingly assumed a continental destiny. This opened many door for poor families to go out and prosper throughout the late nineteenth century.

The expansion of land also led to an expansion of the economy as new states were created and the First Transcontinental Railroad from Council Bluffs, Iowa to Omaha Nebraska was completed in 1869.

How does Clark fisher's model work?

-Pre-industrial countries have mainly primary employment (extraction of raw materials) which on average has lower wages. -As countries industrialise the secondary employment (processing/manufacturing of raw materials) rapidly increases and tertiary employment (services) begins to increase. As a result average wages increase. -As countries become post-industrial the secondary employment falls, the tertiary sector of employment becomes dominant and quaternary employment (research/marketing/consultancy) also increases. Average wages increase again.


What are the major economic impacts of the Lewis and Clark Expedition?

Considering the Lewis and Clark expedition, the fact that they were part of a scientific expedition was extremely important, especially during the Age of Enlightenment. The new knowledge they obtained about the Northwest's geography, natural resources, and native inhabitants sparked American interest in the west, and strengthened the nation's claim to the area. It also gave Americans a sense of pride at a time when they badly needed symbols of national triumph. Americans at this time realized that their new nation was still very much divided and relatively weak and Lewis and Clark's adventure offered Americans proof that the men of their nation could accomplish great deeds amidst enormous hardships. Also spread was the idea of 'Manifest Destiny' as Americans increasingly assumed a continental destiny. This opened many door for poor families to go out and prosper throughout the late nineteenth century. However this also led to many Native Americans and earlier Hispanic settlers to be dispossessed, along with the great number of buffalo that Lewis and Clark themselves saw and were amazed by.

What is the value of a 2000 gold US dollar?

It's an ordinary circulation coin made of brass, not gold. About 1 billion of them were minted and they're only worth $1.MoreThe portrait on the front of the coin is an interpretation of Sacagawea (or Sacajawea), the famed Native American woman who guided the Lewis and Clark expedition during part of the journey across North America. There are no known pictures of Sacagawea so the artist, Glenna Goodacre, used a Native American college student as her model."Liberty", "E Pluribus Unum"These mottoes appear on all US coins so they aren't specific to identifying any denomination, date, or design.
