  1. Documenting a safe route to the Pacific Ocean - This was a significant goal of the expedition, as Jefferson wanted to find a practical water route to the Pacific.

  2. Learning about the territory’s Native Americans - The expedition aimed to gather information about the various tribes, their cultures, and their relations with the land.

  3. Gaining knowledge of the region’s geography - Understanding the geographical features of the region was essential for mapping and exploring new territory.
