Answer:

<h2> Lewis and Clark Expedition</h2>

<u>14 May 1804 – 23 Sep 1806</u>

The Lewis and Clark Expedition from May 1804 to September 1806, also known as the Corps of Discovery Expedition, was the first American expedition to cross the western portion of the United States.. It began in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,made its way westward, and passed through the Continental Divide of the Americas to reach the Pacific coast. The Corps of Discovery was a selected group of US Army volunteers under the command of Captain Meriwether Lewis and his close friend Second Lieutenant William Clark.

President Thomas Jefferson commissioned the expedition shortly after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 to explore and to map the newly acquired territory, to find a practical route across the western half of the continent, and to establish an American presence in this territory before Britain and other European powers tried to claim it. The campaign's secondary objectives were scientific and economic: to study the area's plants, animal life, and geography, and to establish trade with local American Indian tribes. The expedition returned to St. Louis to report its findings to Jefferson, with maps, sketches, and journals in hand.

1. How did the Nazis maintain calm and order during the extermination process?

viktelen [127]

1. Nazis kept the people calm before killing them by claiming that they were going through a "routine cleansing or delousing procedure". They hid the idea of the gas chambers by disguising them as showers. This made the people not suspect what was actually awaiting them.
2. Operation Reinhard served mainly as a concentration camp designed to house Jews and other groups for the purposes of slave labor. Auschwitz on the other hand killed the majority of the people that came in, sparing only a few for slave labor.
3. There appeared at first to be little to no major press about the liberation of the camps because the Russians viewed the Holocaust in a different light than its western counterparts. For Russia, the Holocaust was an attempt to wipe out the entire Russian people, not just Jews, gypsies, political opponents, etc. There was also confusion in the reporting. Some leaders claimed it was Ukrainians, not Russians. This showed signs of the political strife that can still be seen today. However, Russia did release information on the liberation of the camps. Their purpose, upon finding them, still remained the same. They did not add a secondary mission to save those suffering. Many of those soldiers had seen and endured horrible scenes almost as bad as what they saw when they marched into Auschwitz.
4. Survivors of Auschwitz were given food and clothing. Many received and found help from various organizations that were created to help them relocate to Western European nations, the US, Palestine, or other countries around the world. They were given shelter in refugee camps.
5. The primary goal of the death marches was to move those in the camps to camps away from the front line and to continue to use them as slave labor. They marched them as a way to weed out the weak. This would lessen the number that would need to be watched over and "cared for."
