Without an accurate map, or appraisal of the geography, people, flora and fauna, the purchase was essentially worth little. Consequently, Westward Expansion itself would not have taken the same ‘turn’ had Lewis and Clark not provided the groundwork for the push West that would follow. Secondly, the expedition became a symbol representing the spirit of fledgling nationalism that was beginning to flow through the country’s veins. There were considerable pressures for expansion too. Finally, without the expedition, it is unlikely that the future of the United States would have followed quite the same path. ‘What if’ questions are always exercising in historical vanity perhaps, but in this case, considering the importance of Westward Expansion in the development of the geography and ethos of the United States, it is not hyperbole to claim that history would have taken a very different turn had Lewis and Clark not set out to explore the West.

Thomas Jefferson believed in Westward Expansion. Growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, what was effectively the ‘frontier’ at the time, surrounded by men who were either financier of explorers or explorers themselves, it is little wonder that the man himself had thoughts of seeing the nation push out to the West (Monticello Research Report). Jefferson would maintain this course both during and after the Revolution. Indeed Jefferson saw the entire American Continent as potentially a new ground for the post-revolutionary United States. “The Confederacy”, claimed Jefferson, “must be viewed as the nest from which all America, North, and South are to be peopled” (Monticello Research Report). However, the critical problem with this was that at the turn of the century Jefferson, nor anyone else, had much of an idea about the overall size or geography of the American Continent.
