Question

HELP!!!

The routes that the Corps of Discovery took across the continent were not easy.
*Besides using rivers as a means of transportation, what other benefits do rivers
provide, especially in unknown territory?
*Why might the team have split up on part of the return trip?
*What are the benefits of splitting the party, at least for part of the trip? Write one paragraph and explain your answers to the questions above.

Answer 1

I’m not going to write the whole paragraph, but I will give you some key points. Rivers are important because they are a good source of fresh water, and can help with directions based off of which way the water is flowing. The team split up because in case anything happened, some of the group would still be okay. Hope this helps!!
