The U.S. government called for exploration west of the Mississippi River primarily to promote westward expansion, secure land for settlement, and exploit Natural Resources. This initiative was driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny, the idea that Americans were destined to expand across the continent. Additionally, the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 significantly increased the territory available for exploration, prompting expeditions like those led by Lewis and Clark to map the land and establish American presence.
