We will tell you all about Lewis and Clark when they went on their expedition.


First we will tell you about the Louisiana purchases

Thomas Jefferson bought the land from France for 3 to 4 cent per acre so Thomas Jefferson Could buys more of the United States. They set up trade so they could get money. They could make friends so they could tell them where to go. For example, Sacagawea led them to places and Lewis and Clark met Sacagawea’s family. Lewis and Clark started in St. Louis. And ended in Astoria or fort Clatsop

Lewis and Clark met him at the Mandan with the Indians. Sacagawea was a small young girl. Her band lived in what is now called Southeast Idaho. One day her tribe was attacked while they were out hunting for food. During the battle, the young girl was captured .the tribe that took her was the Hidatsa. They were a small band from North Dakota. The young girl was now living as their slave. Within a few years, she became the wife of a fur trader. Charbonneau was from Canada and spoke French. In the month of February they stayed at front Mandan. While
There, Sacagawea gave birth to her first child. He was named jean Baptist. Lewis and Clark Learned that Sacagawea was of one of the Shoshone bands. They hoped that she could help trade for horses and supplies once they reached her tribe. And so, Sacagawea and her husband became interpreters for Lewis and Clark’s crops.
