Chris Farley & Matthew Perry!


:D

*edit* even though they weren't playing Lewis & Clark.

Oh fuckit.

They were sent by Jefferson to find a water route across North America and explore the uncharted west.

Do I get a cookie?

I know! I know!

Well, kind of. All I know is he was a tribal war leader in New Zealand. He did some stuff.

Re: for the non-US folk

Lewis and Clark? Nope.










Hone Heke, however, was the pioneer of thoughtless Maori vandalism, y'see back then they didn't have spray cans to tag with or any dairies to tag on, that didn't stop him being resourceful and hacking at flag poles with an axe. So innovative, is it any wonder that Maori were also pioneers of Trench warfare?

Zero. But then again, we all know that the US is better than australia not only because we weren't started as a penal colony, but because we've been to the moon.

Re: for the non-US folk

woah what a weird moment for me

I was watching a doco on Lewis and Clark just today, and had never, ever heard of them before (apart from the two superman characters).

Nope, ya don't. I know my US history, so I'll put the correct answer below. If you don't wanna know, don't read it.









****answer*****
Henry Hudson was the fellow to search for the Northwest Passage. Unrelated to Lewis and Clark.

Jefferson (elected 1800-1808) bought the Louisina Purchase doubling America's size. France sold it the the US becasue the French and Indian War(Also called 7 years war) cost the French many of it's colonies, and was looking to get out of the colony business. Lewis and Clark explored this new territory, with the help of Indian Sacagewea.

The Western territory wasn't aquired by the US until the mid-1800's, following the Mexican war.

Forgive me if I'm incorrect anywhere in the answer, It's late.
