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.

During the era of segregation:

Hattiesburg had an African American community at Palmers Crossing
Hattiesburg saw several civil rights protests as its leaders attempted to keep Blacks subjugated and the town segregated

In 1684, king charles ii annulled the __________ colonial charter.

yulyashka [42]

In 1684 the government of Charles II revoked the Massachusetts Bay Company colonial charter. This was a joint stock trading company chartered by the English crown in 1629 to colonize a vast area in New England. John Winthrop, Thomas Dudley, Henry Vane, Richard Bellingham, John Endecott, John Leverett, and Simon Bradstreet were some of the Governors. The main reason in England to take this decision was not to attain efficiency in administration but to guarantee that the purpose of the colonies was to make England richer. After the revocation of the Massachusetts charter, King Charles II and the Lords of Trade moved forward with plans to establish a unified administration over some of the New England colonies.
