thomas jefferson. this was in a letter he wrote george rogers clark, who is the older brother of william clark. this was written in 1780, so it's just a few years before -- it's just a few years after the independence -- declaration of independence and a few years before the constitution is ratified. and he says, we shall form to the american union a barrier against a dangerous extension of the british, province of canada, and add to the empire of liberty and extensive fertile country thereby converting dangerous enemies into valuable friends. so even during the time of the articles of confederation, jefferson is sending letters to various peoples to kind of formulate this empire of liberty that he had in mind. now, jefferson was a child of the enlightenment. he knew the significance of enlightenment through exploration, that people on the ground seen things and writing them down and recording those would be very valuable for science. and so his attempts to explore what became the united states are legendary. these are just three of the attempts that he made. first was to george rogers clark in
