Lewis and Clark: the Imperialist of America, 1803 -1806
The Lewis and Clark expedition of 1803 to 1806, was a very important adventure, which had significant bearings on the whole of the American nation; declaring American sovereignty in the West, advancing American trade, and promoting peace between Indian tribes, while attempting to establish a peaceful and profitable relationship with the Native Americans.

President Thomas Jefferson organized a group to explore the previously uncharted territory and to discover a northwest route to the Pacific Ocean. In 1803 Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark¡¦s Corps of Discovery to find a water route to the Pacific and explore the uncharted West.
