Louisiana Purchase Treaty
Lewis and Clark Expedition
The Embargo act destroyed New England's shipping capacity and seriously damaged American markets, especially for exporters. Markets where the US has gained advantage, such as the West Indies, were lost to Britain, and the economic cost to the country was extremely high. In the long run, the Embargo Act, had to be repealed because its significance was to nearly cripple the young American economy.
Francis Scott Key was an American who was present when the British fleet attacked Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. He wasn’t defending the fort, but he was being held prisoner aboard a British ship where he watched in horror as the American fort was blasted with cannon.

That poem later became the anthem of the United States.
It highlighted sectional differences. They wished to get rid of the 3/5 compromise which allowed slaves to be counted in as part of the population in deciding the amount of representatives in the House of Representatives.

This led to rapid decline of party support and eventually led into the so called "era of good feelings" were there is only one political party.
The important thing about The Lewis & Clark Expedition was that it set the stage for settlement of the West. It proceeded the Louisiana Purchase. It allowed different cultures to meet and get to know each other's ways and customs. And it took white exploreres on a discovery of many new geographic, plant and animal species. But the important thing about The Lewis & Clark Expedition was it set the stage for settlement of the West.
