Peter Bolton-King, chief executive of the NAEA, said: The coalition believes that stamp duty is an anachronistic tax which, in its current form, is preventing a recovery in the housing sector.
The Exploration of the Louisiana Purchase. It is often said that the purpose of the Lewis and Clark Expedition was to explore the Louisiana Purchase, the vast land purchase that doubled the size of the United States. In fact, the expedition had been planned and Jefferson was intent on it proceeding before the United States had any expectation of purchasing land from France.
The Lewis and Clark Expedition was considered a great success, and it did meet its official purpose, as it helped foster an American fur trade. And it also met the other various goals, especially by increasing scientific knowledge and providing more reliable maps. And the Lewis and Clark Expedition also strengthened a United States claim to the Oregon Territory, so the expedition did ultimately lead toward the settlement of the west. 1  The Timeline of the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804 to 1806. 2  Free Lewis and Clark Printable Worksheets and Coloring Pages.
