Let's have in mind that US President Thomas Jefferson had ordered the purchase of the Louisiana Territory owned by the French. So in 1803, after the purchase, Thomas Jefferson ordered the Lewis & Clark expedition to explore the western territories. The Expedition lasted 3 years. After that time President Jefferson was briefed about the findings and that is when he authorized the westward expansion.
