The addition of the Louisiana territory doubles the size of the nation. Few Americans, including Jefferson really know what they have bought or what to do with it. Jefferson sends Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and a few dozen men on an historic journey to explore the Northwest. Jefferson does not ask Lewis and Clark to look for farmland, he has other ideas in mind. The important point, notes historian Peter Onuf, is that Jefferson does not contemplate the replication of republican governments across the continent. Meanwhile, Native American tribes, concerned about the invasion of their lands, begin to consolidate and fight back.
