Then, in one (1) to two (2) paragraphs, address one (1) of the following:

• Which of your two selections do you consider most impactful on Westward Expansion during 1800–1848? Explain why.
• Analyze the effects of the ideology of Manifest Destiny on the two historical events that you chose from the list above.

Solution

The two expeditions were used to gain control of the western part of the country. This happened after the Louisiana purchase. The role of Lewis and Clark expedition was essentially to do a survey of the lands located on the western part of the nation (Corbett et al., 2017)..………….please follow the link below to purchase the solution at $5
