Explanation:

Question 39

The Lewis and Clark expedition was commissioned after the Louisiana Purchase to explore the newly acquired territory. Finding fossil fuels was not a concern then, military stability and conquering Plains Indians were not primary motivations. The main motivation was exploring the Louisiana Purchase.

President Madison viewed the War of 1812 as a second fight for American independence (against British interference). He didn't think war could be avoided, faced Federalist opposition, and wasn't reluctant—he saw the conflict as necessary for independence - related goals.

Answer:

B. a desire to explore the Louisiana Purchase
