The main goal of the entire expedition was to find an all river route to the Pacific Ocean, which they didn't find.
Other goals were:
1.) To map, measure and mark all rivers, streams, islands, other natural landmarks, etc.
2.) To establish peaceful relations with any Native Americans they may encounter
3.) To write down any useful information about said Natives (agriculture, food, clothing, laws, etc.)
4.) To record any new animals or plant life they may come upon
5.) To record the location of any mineral or metals they may find
6.) To record the climate, the temperature, and season dates of every day of the expedition
Jefferson's goals for the Lewis and Clark expedition were to find a water route to the Pacific Ocean, establish relations with Native American tribes, document and map the territory acquired in the Louisiana Purchase, and gather information on the region's plants, animals, and Natural Resources.
President Jefferson tasked Meriwether Lewis and William Clark with three main goals for their expedition: to explore and map the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory, to establish a water route to the Pacific Ocean, and to study the plants, animals, and Native American tribes of the region.
To find the northwest passage, to map the area and to find new animals and plants. READ YOUR HISTORY PEOPLES!
Lewis and Clark's goals for their expedition were to explore and map the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory, establish diplomatic relations with Native American tribes, and find a water route linking the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean. They were also tasked with studying the region's plants, animals, and geography.
Yes, the Lewis and Clark expedition achieved many of Jefferson's goals, including establishing American presence in the newly acquired Louisiana Territory, gathering information about the land's resources and inhabitants, and finding a practical route to the Pacific Ocean. Their journey greatly expanded knowledge of the Western regions of North America and paved the way for future exploration and settlement.
To explore and map the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase territory. To find a practical water route across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. To establish good relations with Native American tribes encountered during the expedition.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition achieved the main goal of finding a route up navigable rivers to the Pacific Ocean. They reached that goal on November 15, 1805.
Thomas Jefferson wanted Meriwether Lewis to find the Northwest passage--a waterway thought of to connect the Atlantic and the Pacific. To his disapointment, there was no such thing. Jefferson also wanted Lewis to explore the freshly bought land west of the Mississippi ( in fact, it was formerly owned by the French, not the Spanish) because Euro-Americans were yet to chart the Western Frontier. The land was occupied by the Native Americans, whom of which Jefferson wanted to establish a peaceful relationship with. William Clark was not chosen by Congress, nor Jefferson to lead the expedition. Instead, Lewis picked his old friend Clark to help him lead the "Corps of Discovery", as they're legally titled.
