They went on an expedition to explore the west, which was the Louisiana Territory, where others were already exploring. What made them unique was they explored the Oregon Territory and were some of the first men to travel across the entire "country". They had a crew and were assisted by Sacagawea, who traveled with her son on her back for most of the trip. One of thier goals was to find a waterway that connected the east and the west, at first the thought it was the Missouri River. But it ended up being a series of rivers. (They started in Pittsburgh.) And followed the Missouri River to the Yellowstone River, to the Snake River and finally the Columbia River which led them to the Pacific. Hope this helps! I was born in the North West and they're kinda a big deal there. (: There are forts you can go to where they stayed, and follow their trail. It is actually pretty cool.

What points do you think hawthorne is trying to make about organized religion?
Alexeev081 [22]

The Scarlet Letter shows readers the lives of a Puritan community in the 17th century. Religion (blind religion) meant everything to them, and the words of their Reverends was law. Breaking any religious rules was punished by public humiliation and punishment of the person who committed it, for example, Hester Prynne. When the church found out that she was committing adultery, they forced her to wear a scarlet letter 'A' on her chest, so that her sin could follow her everywhere and she (and others in the community), could be constantly reminded of it. <span>

<span>This kind of belief in punishing supposed "sinners" made relationships between men and women in this Puritan community very strained. Religion governed their way of life. They failed to realize that no human is perfect, and no human can precisely follow that kind of a lifestyle. In the end, when the reader finds out who the man was that Hester had committed adultery with, it is obvious what Hawthorne was trying to communicate about such strict organized religion; no one is as perfect as God, therefore looking up to reverends and priests in such a blind belief is dangerous because they are only human and make similar mistakes as everyone else.</span></span>
