In 1800, the area west of the Mississippi River was largely referred to as the "Louisiana Territory," which had been acquired by the United States through the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. This vast region was largely uncharted and inhabited by various Native American tribes. It encompassed land that would eventually become multiple states, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. The territory was seen as a significant opportunity for exploration and westward expansion.
