Thomas Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark to explore the Louisiana Territory so that they both can map down the entire territory that was acquired by Thomas Jefferson through the Louisiana Purchase. He wanted Lewis and Clark to find the routes across the western half of the continent. The main reason for doing this was to ensure that these new territories would be free from Britain and other European powers and wanted Lewis and Clark to establish American presence there before the European powers could claim their authority in these territories.
