Meriwether Lewis and William Clark


Daniel Boone and William Clark


Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett


Davy Crockett and William Clark

Answer 1

The correct answer is Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.

Lewis and Clark were part of a group of people known as the Corps of Discovery. After Thomas Jefferson bought 800,000,000 square miles of land from France, he sent this group of people to explore and map out this new territory. Understanding this territory was critical to America's westward expansion during the 19th century.
