  • Analyze the effects of the ideology of Manifest Destiny on the two historical events that you chose from the list above.

 

Solution 

My first choice is the Lewis and Clark expedition. Ideally, Lewis and Clark expedition took place between the years 1803 and 1806. 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
