Father Jacques Marquette was motivated by a desire to spread Christianity and explore the New World. As a Jesuit missionary, he sought to convert Indigenous peoples to Catholicism and establish missions. His curiosity about the geography and Natural Resources of North America also drove him to explore the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. Ultimately, Marquette's faith and adventurous spirit led him to play a significant role in early American exploration.
