You may want to reword your answer. I did not understand the way you phrased it. Apologies. :l
What I can infer from what Lewis and Clark saw when moving west from the Mississippi river is that the landscape along the river changed drasticallly. The forest receded, replaced first by the high prairie and then the shorter grass of the high plains. The temperatures became colder and as they continued their expedition by the river they realized that there was no water route to the pacific ocean, just more mountains.

It should be called a "warm war" as neither it was fully unarmed war to be called cold war, nor it was a formally full fledged war to be called hot war.
They worked together duhh
