Complete Question:
Who led an exploration of the land west of the Mississippi River?
Answer:
c. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark
Explanation:
President Thomas Jefferson of the United States of America, instructed both Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore west of the Mississippi River. Also, during the expedition, Lewis and Clark traveled mainly on the Missouri River for the majority of their sojourn in which they traveled for about 8,000 miles. The expedition began on the 14th of May, 1804 till the 23rd of September, 1806; it lasted for two and a half years.
The city where Lewis and Clark began (started) their journey was St. Louis in Missouri and they also ended it in the city of St. Louis in Missouri.
Basically, Lewis was saddled with the responsibility of finding or discovering new animals and plants while Clark was responsible for making maps of the routes they followed.
Hence, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark led an exploration of the land west of the Mississippi River.
The use of good guy or bad guy for a person doesn't make much sense.
I'll just list some major facts about Columbus and let you make your own conclusions.
Christopher Columbus believed the world was round. Others during his time didn't believe so. Columbus also thought that the world was smaller than what it actually is, principally because North America and South America were not yet discovered. Columbus went to many people and asked them to fund him, and finally the King and Queen of Spain funded him. When Columbus reached the Americas, he treated the natives harshly. He took their wealth, such as gold, etc, and made the natives slaves. And he brought back the riches of the Caribbean to Spain. Columbus never knew that he had stumbled across an undiscovered land, and instead thought he had reached India, where he was originally going for, and so he called the natives "Indians."
Hope that helped :)
