What factors prompted Jefferson to sponsor the Lewis and Clark expedition?
Answer Hi Jakeyra, I’ll be glad to help with your question. Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark to explore the Louisiana Purchase territory to: 1. Learn about the boundaries of the purchase. 2. Learn about the plants and animals of the land. 3. Open new trading and settlement routes. 4. Make contact with the Native Americans of that land. I hope that this is helpful, Jakeyra.
