Detailed explanation-1: -The route of Lewis and Clark’s expedition took them up the Missouri River to its headwaters, then on to the Pacific Ocean via the Columbia River, and it may have been influenced by the purported transcontinental journey of Moncacht-Apé by the same route about a century before.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lewis and Clark’s team mapped uncharted land, rivers, and mountains. They brought back journals filled with details about Native American tribes and scientific notes about plants and animals they’d never seen before. They also brought back stories-tales that made other Americans dream about heading west.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Lewis and Clark expedition set out with all the following purpose except, identifying appropriate sites for major cities to be founded and built. Lewis and Clark and their party were not concerned with establishing cities on the plains of Midwest. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-4: -Nevertheless, the expedition contributed significant geographic and scientific knowledge of the West, aided the expansion of the fur trade, and strengthened U.S. claims to the Pacific. Clark’s maps portraying the geography of the West, printed in 1810 and 1814, were the best available until the 1840s.
