John C. Frémont explored the West primarily to map uncharted territories and gather information for the U.S. government during the mid-1800s. His expeditions were motivated by the desire to promote westward expansion and the idea of Manifest Destiny, which held that Americans were destined to expand across the continent. Additionally, his explorations aimed to identify potential routes for a transcontinental railroad and to assess the region's resources, contributing to the overall understanding and settlement of the western United States.
