History Team: #4-1/YMS2 Introduction We are on a journey that would change history as we know it. The goals we have for our expedition are to explore the Louisiana Territory, record all our new discoveries, and make allies with the inhabitants of the strange new land. We also would like to inform you of our journey there so everyone could experience what we have been through by reading our journals. Even though we know will be rough on this journey with many losses, we plan to achieve our goals no matter what it takes. Using these journals, we hope to paint the picture of our journey so that you can capture the events in your mind.

We have all been through a lot in these past years. I really believe that this has been a rewarding experience for all of us. I also believe that this expedition has greatly helped the United States. Through many hardships, overall it eventually rewarded each of us with newfound skills and a better life.
