1 2 3 Some images © Place a star over #3 on your map! 3. Confirmation Lewis and Clark set out on their westward journey with a group of men they called the Corps of Discovery. The Corps began its historic journey at the mouth of the great Missouri River.

1 2 3 4 The expedition settled for the winter near the mouth of the Knife River in North Dakota in late October There they employed a trader named Toussaint Charbonneau. Lewis later wrote that he was "a man of no particular merit," but he brought along a wife named Sacagawea. She proved to be a great asset. Some images © Place a star over #4 on your map! 4. Wintering with the Mandans

1 2 3 4 5 Some images © Place a star over #5 on your map! 5. Turning Point At Fort Mandan on a subzero February day in 1805, Sacagawea gave birth to a son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. On April 7 with the baby only weeks old, the Corps resumed its journey.

Some images © 1 2 3 4 5 6 Some days the Corps covered 25 miles. The expedition encountered grizzly bears, which Lewis and Clark usually called "white bears,” bighorn sheep, wolves, coyotes, beaver, geese, ducks, eagles, swans, elk, buffalo, and antelopes. The Corps was amazed at the rolling, treeless plains! Place a star over #6 on your map! 6. High on the Plains

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Some images © Place a star over #7 on your map! 7. Decision at the Marias On June 2, 1805, the Corps arrived at a major fork in the river. The maps and information from Indian scouts hadn’t mentioned the fork. Lewis and Clark had to decide which course was the true Missouri River.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Some images © Place a star over #8 on your map! 8. Majestically Grand Scenery Lewis arrived at the Great Falls of the Missouri River on June 13, 1805, anticipating an easy, one-day journey. Instead, he discovered four more waterfalls, complicating his plan. Clark called this the most perilous part of their journey. They had to spend a great deal of time hewing out two cottonwood dugouts to continue on their way.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Some images © Place a star over #9 on your map! 9. A Critical Landmark The members of the expedition were desperate to cross the Rocky Mountains before winter. Steadily, they navigated a gap that Lewis called the “Gates of the Mountains.” Sacagawea told Lewis that she was starting to recognize the territory and that her people were not far. This lifted his spirits tremendously.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Some images © Place a star over #10 on your map! 10. Over the Divide Lewis was determined to find the Shoshone Indians. After navigating three rivers, Lewis scouted the area with three companions. They relied on Sacagawea’s memories as a young girl. They soon spotted a lone Indian and the next day reached the Continental Divide.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Some images © Place a star over #11 on your map! 11. Shoshone, Salish, and Nez Perce The Shoshone Indians, Sacagawea’s people, were amazed by the appearance of Clark’s black slave, York, and Lewis’ black Newfoundland dog, Seaman.

3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Some images © Place a star over #12 on your map! 12. Through the Gorge The expedition had to traverse some of the roughest terrain of their journey west of the Rocky Mountains. They had to cross the Cascades, which contained extremely high peaks such as Adams, Jefferson, St. Helens, and Hood. Then came the precipitous Columbia Gorge!

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Some images © Place a star over #13 on your map! 13. And Down to the Sea As the Corps emerged from the Columbia Gorge, it spent two horrible weeks pinned down by storms near the Pacific Ocean. Finally, they found a site for their winter home in modern-day Astoria, OR, on the Netul River.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Some images © Place a star over #14 on your map! 14. Planning Ahead Once the expedition reached the Pacific, the captains had to plan and organize the return trip. The members planned to split into two main groups and reunite at the junction of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers.

More Indian Aid Lewis and Clark again depended upon help and advice from Indians to get them to the mouth of the Clearwater River. They traded to get their horses back, and with two Nez Perce guides to help them, they set out to again conquer the Rocky Mountains.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Some images © Place a star over #16 on your map! 16. Clark on the Roche Jaune Clark spent very little time exploring the Roche Jaune (French for Yellow Stone). He climbed a massive gray rock 25 miles east of modern Billings, MT, called it "Pompy's Tower" (Pomp was Clark’s nickname for the infant son of Sacagawea), and carved his name on its side. The etching is one of the few surviving pieces of physical evidence of the expedition.

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Lewis took three men to explore the source of the Marias River. When it became clear the Marias branches did not go as far north as Lewis had hoped, he called their camp site Camp Disappointment. Then Lewis and the men met their first Blackfeet Indians. The encounter ended in a fight, with two Blackfeet dead and Lewis and his men fleeing back to the Missouri. Some images © Place a star over #17 on your map! 17. Camp Disappointment

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Pushing hard, the Corps neared St. Louis. The captains paid Charbonneau $ when he left the Corps in the Mandan villages. Although Sacagawea received nothing, Clark acknowledged her role in a letter to her husband. When they landed in St. Charles, the group officially ended their “journey of discovery.” Fast Facts Some images © Place a star over #18 on your map! 18. Nearing Home

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Some images © Place a star over #19 on your map! 19. Discovering Lewis and Clark Few appreciated the efforts of the Corps of Discovery when it returned. Sgt. Patrick Gass’ diary was the first account of the journey printed, in In 1814 Clark made sure the "official" two-volume account was printed after Lewis's death in Only 2,000 sets were printed. Today, history heralds the expedition as a journey that changed the history and fate of the United States.

Brain Stretch What problems did George Washington/U.S.A. have with Britain? What negotiations/treaties were issued to try and resolve the problems? LEWIS AND CLARK TRAILS-Where the journey began!!!

Agenda/Objective(Wednesday)
*Objectives--To explain the significance of the Louisiana Purchase and the purpose of the Lewis and Clark expedition. To identify the changing and developing relationships with Britain/Native tribes in the buildup to and the War of 1812. To review for the test on Friday Agenda- 1.) Brain Stretch 2.) Study Guide Work(Individual) 3.)Note yesterday’s work 4.)Study Guide Work(Small and whole group)

--Did the Lewis and Clark expedition achieve these goals?
Brain Stretch *What were the goals/objectives of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (Page 343-Call to Freedom)? --Did the Lewis and Clark expedition achieve these goals?

Individual WorkPartnersWhole Group (7 minutes)
Individual WorkPartnersWhole Group (7 minutes) (20 minutes) (15minutes) *What are some of the questions on the study guide you need to focus on? *How do you plan on getting this knowledge, so that you can do your best on the test?

Whole Group Study Guide Review
--What did President Washington warn the nation about when he left office as the 1st president of the USA? *Staying out of debt both public and private. *Avoiding foreign alliances and conflicts *Avoid the dividing nature of political parties. *Make education a priority for the country.

2. What were the challenges President Washington faced both inside the country and outside our borders during his time as president? -Domestic Problems: Native American conflicts as the U.S.A. expands, whiskey rebellion, divisions of Federalists vs.Democratic-Republicans.

2. -International Problems: Problems with Britain(Seizing ships and sailors, refusing to leave old forts in the N.W. territory, giving Native Americans weapons to halt American expansion, stopping trade in the Caribbean to hurt American businesses) -Problems with Spain-Blocked the port of New Orleans and cut trade off down the MS River. Disputer the border of West Florida(on MS Riv)

-Problems with France-They wanted U.S. financial, social and military support in their overthrowing their King (Louis XVI) and monarchy government. -France also lobbied support from the American public and political parties, urging people to be anti-British and help them fight wars against England, and most of Europe when Napoleon seized power after the revolution.

--3. Where are the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri Rivers and why are they important? Think of all the benefits it would provide the nation, what specific resources and advantages did it bring the USA? *Rivers are natural highways, the Missouri and Ohio Rivers flow into the Miss. River, which empties into New Orleans and the Gulf of MexicoTrade, travel, settlement (good farming in flood plains of rivers),etc. *

--4. How was the geographical and economic expansion for the United States a positive thing for the nation as a singular entity (country/nation)? *It provided more land (farming, timber, minerals,etc.), water (travel, trade, survival, defense, etc.), and room to grow new cities and markets.

--5. How was the geographical and economic expansion for the United States a negative thing for African Americans and Native Americans? *African Americans work as slaves would drive the major cash crop of the U.S.A. in the late 18th and 19th centuries, cotton. When Native tribes were forced off their land in the SouthEast, it opened up more area for Cotton plantations.

-- *? *

--Native Americans once numbered in the millions on the American continent and due to Spanish, English, and in the end American expansion, their numbers were reduced dramatically. -Native tribes kept getting pushed further and further West, off their lands and away from cultural hunting or spiritual landmarks of their ancestors.

-- *? *

--6. What were the goals of Lewis and Clark expedition? Did they achieve these goals? +Commerce (business): breaking the fur trade monopoly of the British in the N.W. +Science: To identify new animals, plants and make a map of the “West”. +Diplomacy with Native Americans: To meet the various tribes and maintain peaceful relationships with them.

War of 1812 *What led up to the War of 1812? How were the British and Native American tribes involved with this war?

How did we receive the Louisiana Purchase?
Napoleon Bonaparte, the dictator of France, sold the Louisiana Purchase to the U.S.A. for 15 million dollars in 1803. He sold it at a “steal of a deal” price due to his military spending and conquest to control “all of Europe”, the ‘Napoleonic Wars’.

Why was the Louisiana Purchase important?
Allowed the U.S.A. to control the Mississippi River and Port of New Orleans. Gave the U.S. almost enough space to expand from coast to coast (Atlantic to Pacific). More Farmland, Missouri River and other resources. Showed other nations, the U.S. experiment with a republic was growing in size/power.

The states it covers…
