Answer 1

Lewis and Clark were commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly acquired western territory of the United States, known as the Louisiana Purchase. The expedition had several achievements. Firstly, they established relations with Indigenous people in the West, which was crucial for future interactions and negotiations. Secondly, they mapped a route to the Pacific Ocean, providing valuable geographical information. Thirdly, while they did not discover the Northwest Passage (a direct water route to the Pacific), they provided valuable information about the region. Fourthly, their expedition gave the United States a better understanding of the land it had bought, including its geography, flora, fauna, and native inhabitants. However, they did not stumble upon gold reserves and trigger the Gold Rush. The Gold Rush happened later in the 19th century, primarily in California, not in the areas explored by Lewis and Clark.
