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.
nothing other than they were exploring to the west the then known world.

Lewis and Clark told the East what the West had to offer they are resposible for the mass amount of pioneers traveling to west because after the few who went directly due to Lewis and Clark discovered gold millions across the world imigrated due to this they are responsible for California, Oregon and Washington being the way they are and for the Cowboy era which inspired leaders from the Japonesse Emperor to Hitler.
Lewis and Clark were on a expesition to sail all of the boys in the world, and all of the American teachers, Lewis and clark are very special people. They love kids and teachers most because they help out childish children. Also they teach lil kids how to play birdie in PE. ! Which is very hard to do except for when your gee's like me......<3 DONT FORGET IT.
Lewis explored half of the usa sith clark
Meriwether Lewis was first chosen to go on the Louisiana Purchase because he was President Jefferson's aide and Jefferson knew he could rely on him. Lewis would be promoted to Captain after he agreed to join. To prepare for the expedition, Lewis was sent to Philadelphia for intense training by physician Benjamin Rush, astronomer-surveyor Andrew Ellicott, botanist Benjamin Barton, anatomist Casper Wister, and mathematician Robert Patterson. For three months he was tutored in the spring of 1803. The skills that Lewis learned would be passed on to Clark as they traveled. Prior to the expedition, Clark was in fact Lewis' superior officer and was very experienced in handling boats. Lewis would ask Clark to serve mainly as the expedition "doctor" and co-writer of the Journals.
If Meriwether Lewis and William Clark had not gone on the expedition, it can be said that the world would not have changed as Jefferson was determined to create such an expedition and would've found someone else to lead it. However, if the expedition itself never happened, let's say if Congress did not give the $2500 to fund it, there would certainly be a lack of information on the west for settlers. Peaceful relations with natives would not have been formed and we may not know that Sacagawea and Toussaint Charbonneau even existed. However, with or without the Lewis and Clark expedition, it can safely be said that western settlement would happen anyway. But settlers would have to rely on their own skills to find out the locations of water sources. Settlers would also not know ahead of time what animals they would see or what plants they would find.
