Objective (I Can…)

Analyze the impact of the Lewis and Clark Expedition by identifying the routes on a map, exploring the events of

their journey.

Today’s Focus Question

What did the Lewis and Clark expedition achieve?

Recap |  George Washington has been elected the first

President of the United States.

|  John Adams has been elected the second President of the United States.

|  The United States has been functioning rather well for about twenty-five years.

|  Thomas Jefferson is now the third President of the United States and buys from Napoleon the Louisiana territory doubling the size of the United States.

Louisiana Purchase

Jefferson wanted to purchase New Orleans and West Florida for 10 million.

Instead, Jefferson purchased 827,000 square miles of land west of the Mississippi River for $15 million dollars.

Going West

|  In 1803, shortly after the United States purchased Louisiana, Congress provided money to study the new lands.

|  The expedition consisted of a group of U.S. Army volunteers under the command of Captain Meriwether Lewis and his close friend William Clark.

|  Their objective was to: {  Study the climate, wildlife, and mineral resources of the

land,

{  Find a route across the western half of the continent to the Pacific Ocean (a northwest passage),

{  Learn about the Indian nations who lived in the Louisiana Territory.

Mapping it all out |  The geographic detail in maps of the West before 1803 were

very inaccurate. {  European geographers had depicted California as an island.

|  The Lewis and Clark expedition was literally charting new territory. The land west was blank, and even the best scholars around the world had no idea what lay beyond this region.

|  It would prove to be unknown until Lewis and Clark walked the land, charted, mapped, and measured the area, {  They described and identified the plants, rivers, mountains, and

people living on this land.

Make a Connection

|  If you were asked to join the Lewis and Clark expedition what THREE items would you bring for your two year journey?

ü The items CAN be from this time period (but remember there is no place to charge your cell phone in 1803!).

ü  The items must be travel-friendly (something that will fit in a backpack).

|  Would the expedition have changed with the items you brought along? How?
