Double the size of the United States. Opened up possibilities for Westward Expansion. Was bought for 15 million from france who had been fighting wars with Great Britain and where desperate for money.
123 miles of their 8000 mile trip was in kansas. "Great Beauty.. Variety of game... deer seemed plentiful... abundance of wild raspberries." Said by Lewis and Clark.
Described Kansas as a worthless desert and started the debate "Could this land be Cultivated". First American to travel by land. "These vast plains...may become in time equally celebrated as the sandy deserts of Africa..."
Labeled Kansas "Great American Desert" on the map before it became Kansas. The view of the desert stuck and it influenced the US government's settlement policies for years to come.
Wanted Eastern farmland from the "White American" farmers. Insisted that the US relocate the "Savages". "What good man would prefer a country covered in forests and ranged by a few thousand savages to our extensive Republic,..".
Caused tension to rise between tribes and left tribes being unfamiliar with their surroundings as well as struggling to live in their conditions. East American Indians were forced to relocate to Kansas and other areas which again they were not familiar with.
I mean it's a great big desert in America so i'll call it "The GReat American Desert"
