Answer:

The Lewis and Clark Expedition began in 1804, when President Thomas Jefferson tasked Meriwether Lewis with exploring lands west of the Mississippi River that comprised the Louisiana Purchase. Lewis chose William Clark as his co-leader for the mission. The excursion lasted over two years: Along the way they confronted harsh weather, unforgiving terrain, treacherous waters, injuries, starvation, disease and both friendly and hostile Native Americans. Nevertheless, the approximately 8,000-mile journey was deemed a huge success and provided new geographic, ecological and social information about previously uncharted areas of North America.

Explanation:

Meriwether Lewis was born in Virginia in 1774 but spent his early childhood in Georgia. He returned to Virginia as a teenager to receive his education and graduated from college in 1793. He then joined the Virginia state militia—where he helped to put down the Whiskey Rebellion—and later became a captain in the U.S. Army. At age 27 he became personal secretary to President Thomas Jefferson.

William Clark was born in Virginia in 1770 but moved with his family to Kentucky at age 15. At age 19, he joined the state militia and then the regular Army, where he served with Lewis and was eventually commissioned by President George Washington as a lieutenant of infantry.

In 1796, Clark returned home to manage his family’s estate. Seven years later, Lewis chose him to embark on an epic excursion that would help shape America’s history.

What do the North Star and The Liberator have in common?
Vitek1552 [10]
Hey there!

Your answer should be "They are two antislavery newspapers."

One thing the North Star and the Liberator have in common is that they are both antislavery newspapers.
They both are readings that relate to slavery, and there was also an opinion meeting about it in the North area of America.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

algol13
One of the main reasons why <span>some of the slaveholding states decided not to join the confederacy is because although they supported slavery, they were also patriotic, and felt that the Union needed to stay together no matter what the cost. </span>
