Sacagawea is mostly known for being a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which took place from 1804-1806.

This clearly emphasizes that Sacagawea was a very prominent figure in American history. In order to educate the class and myself, the three categories that were crucial to the comprehension of her life and achievements include…

Hello, we are Lewis and Clark. We were born in the 1770s and grew up to be two of the most successful explores in American history.

As we explored, we came across villages of the Mandan and…

In the play, Sacajawea the Indian Princess, Clark, one of the explorers, asks Sacagawea:" then will you Sacajawea, go to pilot us through your country, to show us the river of the sun?"(1.14). He explains that they will not pay for this: "Everyone must give part of himself to the land of which he enjoys the freedom" (Sacajawea 1.14). This sentence that Clark utters is supposed to be for the audience to prove how willing was Sacagawea to help the new explorers. Wolfrom, here, asserts The Indian…

Jefferson’s Dilemma The United States history thus so far, is full of many bargains but one of the most controversial and beneficial bargains is the Louisiana Purchase. This bargain occurred back in the 1800s of which the President Thomas Jefferson was able to undertake the deal of the century.

Thomas Jefferson was a Founding Father and principal author of the Declaration of Independence. He was elected the second Vice President of the United States and the third President of the United States. He is often regarded as one of the top ten Presidents of the United States for his contributions while in, and out of, office.

The Louisiana Purchase was an offer from the French that opened up many beneficial opportunities for the growing United States. Land west of the Eastern seaboard was territory claimed by the French; however after the Seven Year’s War France had lost its dominance over the land and transferred control to Spain. France had later found itself in need of funding for the war they were fighting in Europe. The United States, with their growing population and need for expansion, found the…

My grandmother is a woman of strong opinions, when (CS; opinions, and when) my siblings and I were young, most of her strong opinions was aimed squarely at us. She thought my mother was too permissive, allowing us kids to say, do, or decline to do far too much. In reprimanding either us or our mother, her favorite phrase was, “Back in my day, children just weren’t permitted to…,” and then she would start on her long list of grievances. I always vowed I would never be that way, full of…

Not many others could have had the advantage to accompany the Discovery Corps on their mission to explore the new land. They would depart in 1803, and leave with the option of no return. With a mission to explore for the betterment of our country, who wouldn't want all of the glory and fame it would bring. Many people around me asked of my adventures or my viewpoint on my comrades. So I've channeled…
