As a team (although Lewis was the primary agent), Lewis and Clark influenced no less significant a person than the President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, in their attempt to help the United States grow both territorially and economically. With their wilderness and leadership experience as legitimizing factors, Lewis and Clark were instrumental in decisions made by the American government to look carefully westwards for opportunities to expand as a nation.
