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.

As a result, King George and the rest of Parliament felt that the colonists should be punished so they passed the Intolerable Acts.

In what primary way did the goals for us intervention in Europe differ from those of the Soviet Union
nexus9112 [7]

The United States intervention into European countries after World War II was completely different than the Soviet Union because the United States was trying to spread democracy and stop the spread of communism. On the other hand, the Soviet Union was trying to spread the system of communism to other countries.

This battle between the US and Soviet Union for global power and influence resulted in the creation of the Cold War. This ideological battle saw the ideas of capitalism face off against a communist system. To prevent the spread of communism, the United States gave billions of dollars in aid to countries negatively impacted by World War II in hopes that they would stay away from implementing a communist government.
