Lewis and Clark were sent by the president to explore the Louisiana Purchase territory, as it had remained generally ignored. Their expedition began that year in 1803. Other events during this time include: - The War of 1812 (Great Britain vs. U.S.) - The "Era of Good Feelings" (period of time that began after the United States' victory in the War of 1812) - The Missouri Compromise (important - Missouri was entered into the Union as a slave state even though it was technically part of the North) - The Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention - The Compromise of 1850 (also important) |
