The Louisiana Purchase provided the United States with more land and resources, which eventually led to the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This expedition, commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson, explored the newly acquired territory and continued all the way to the Pacific Northwest. The exploration of the Pacific Northwest would not have been possible without the Louisiana Purchase providing the initial impetus for further exploration and settlement in the region.
