5 0

United states was successful in purchasing many thousands square miles of land from France and it was called Louisiana Purchase. But most of the lands which were bought were not being explored and hence under the term of Thomas Jefferson, congress granted permission to Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to undertake an expedition to explore the west.

Explanation:

The corps left from St. Louis harbored near Mississippi and explored Portland and Oregon, they wrote the first report to Thomas Jefferson regarding the encounter of various Native american tribes and about 108 new plants and animal species that were found in the west. The confrontation with the Tetons and Sioux, tribes were largely peaceful and thus it paced way for them to study the geography and the cultural differences of the native  Americans who  resided in the great plains of West. Lewis and Clark expedition provided a great knowledge about the Geographical, physical and cultural features of the west and they produced around Hundred and forty maps which helped the future people to explore the west.

what type of gerrymandering took place in north Carolina 12th congressional district, and what was its specific goal?
Luden [163]

A US district court ruled earlier this week that North Carolina’s partisan gerrymandered congressional districts were unconstitutional, raising the very real possibility that new maps might need to be drawn mere weeks before the 2018 House elections.

New districts would likely be a boon for Democrats: Though North Carolina is evenly or nearly evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, Republicans currently hold 10 of the state’s 13 House seats. In their quest for a House majority, even one or two newly competitive seats in North Carolina would be a major boost to Democrats’ chances of taking over at least one chamber of Congress.

But first, state officials and the courts need to figure out if drawing new districts is even possible in such a short time and whether the congressional elections might need to be delayed in order to accommodate the court-ordered redistricting. Looming over all of it is the US Supreme Court, which could put a stay on the lower court’s decision and bring the whole mad dash to an end very quickly.

North Carolina Republican leaders accused the federal court’s decision of introducing “unmitigated chaos” to the state’s 2018 elections — and while they are surely peeved at the thought of losing congressional seats, they aren’t wrong in thinking the court has upended the 2018 landscape in North Carolina and nationwide.
