Why did Jefferson send Lewis and clark to explore the territory?
Thomas Jefferson had dreamed of exploring the West for at least 20 years before he even became President. In 1783 he had even asked Clark's brother, George, to take on the challenge. After finally purchasing the Louisiana Territory, and two weeks before inauguration day Jefferson asked Lewis, his secretary of state, to go on the journey. After Lewis was very intelligent and trustworthy, and after being given specific instructions and properly trained, he began the expedition on August 30, 1803 in Pittsburgh PA. Lt. William Clark would only offer to join Lewis on the expedition weeks later on October 13, 1803 at Camp Dubois (in present-day Indiana). Jefferson had given Lewis full authority as leader of the expedition, so it was Lewis who chose Clark, not Jefferson. They then named their team the "Corps of Discovery."
