What is the importance of the Louisiana Purchase in relationship to the Lewis and Clark expedition?
The Lewis and Clark expedition, 1803–1806, was a U.S. expedition that explored the territory of the Louisiana Purchase and the country beyond as far as the Pacific Ocean.Thomas Jefferson had long considered the project of a western expedition, and as president he contemplated the matter in earnest and discussed it with his private secretary, Capt. Meriwether Lewis. When Congress approved the plan in 1803 and appropriated money for it, Jefferson named Lewis to head it, and Lewis selected William Clark as his associate in command. The purpose was to search out a land route to the Pacific, to strengthen American claims to Oregon territory, and to gather information about the indigenous inhabitants and the country of the Far West. Before the long march was begun, the Louisiana Purchase was made, increasing the need for a survey of the West.GUYS I HOPE U LIKE THIS AND I HOPE IT HELP YOU *_______________*

What were the effects of the expedition of Lewis and Clark?
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.

But it had rained during the first half of the day, so it can be supposed that Lewis and Clark left perhaps around 10:00 am rather than their usual 7:00 or 8:00 am.
What would have happened if Sacagawea wasn't at the Lewis and Clark Expedition?
If Sacajawea was not with Lewis and Clark they probably would not have made it as far as they did. Sacajawea is very important to national history.
Was Sacagewea forced to guide Lewis and Clark?
Not at all, far from it actually. Lewis and Clark in fact highly respected her even though she was a Native American and a young woman. She became invaluable as a guide in the region of her birth and as a interpreter between the expedition and her tribe. Lewis and Clark respected her more as a comrade than her husband, a French trapper named Toussaint Charbonneau. Lewis and Clark didn't like how Toussaint treated Sacagawea, and after the expedition, Clark would be the one to raise and educate her son at a time when there was absolutely no opportunity for education for Native Americans.
