Lewis and Clark Expedition – explored Louisiana

http://www.biography.com/people/groups/lewis-and-clark

The expedition: (1804–06) U.S. military expedition, led by Captain Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark, to explore the Louisiana Purchase and the Pacific Northwest.

Sacajawea: Shoshone Indian who played a very important role in the success of the expedition she could read the landscapes, knew what was safe to

eat along the way as well as finding food. She was also an interpreter proved invaluable when

she negotiated with the Shoshone for horses..

Native American leader of the Shawnee

A large tribal confederacy (known as Tecumseh's Confederacy)

He was against the US and became an ally of Britain (our enemy) in the War of 1812.

Fought on November 7, 1811 Between United States forces led by

Governor William Henry Harrison (future pres) of the Indiana Territory & Native American warriors lead by Tecumseh.

Needed trade with both sides

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Possibility of gaining additional lands

Revenge for British helping Indians

Imagine that you are James Monroe. Thomas Jefferson has sent you to Paris to purchase the port city of New Orleans from Napoleon for no more than $10 million. Write a letter to President Jefferson explaining that you went over budget, buying all 820,000 square miles of the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon for $15 million, or about three cents per acre.

With this purchase, you have more than doubled the size of the American lands. Justify your actions in 4-5 sentences.
