US President Thomas Jefferson brokered the purchase of the Louisiana territory from Napoleon.

When he needed a partner, however, to help his expedition, Lewis agreed to have William Clark to share the leadership of the exploration of the Louisiana Territory. Sharing the command of the mission, was at the time, a sign of humbleness and Lewis' intelligence to share the duties was a correct one.
