Who were the explorers who determined that the Mississippi was not the desired waterway across America?
Explorers such as Robert La Salle and Henry Hudson played crucial roles in determining the navigability of the Mississippi River as a potential waterway across America. La Salle's expeditions in the late 17th century revealed the river's challenges and its limitations for westward expansion. Additionally, the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804-1806) further clarified the geography of the region, highlighting the Rocky Mountains as a barrier and indicating that alternative routes, such as the Columbia River, were more favorable for trade and exploration.

What is the narrow waterway of Anian?
The Narrow Waterway of Anian, often referred to as the Strait of Anian, is a hypothetical passage believed to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through North America. It was a subject of interest during the Age of Exploration, as explorers sought a northwest passage to facilitate trade. Despite its initial promise, no such waterway was found, and it is now understood that North America is a solid landmass without a navigable strait in that location. The concept has been largely replaced by the discovery of routes like the Bering Strait and the Panama Canal, which serve similar purposes.
