Along the way they would trade with the Indians
Especially one named Sacagawea

SLAVERY
Once we purchased Louisiana slavery went increased drastically
Farm owners found that by settling in the west that cotton was a very popular product and grew easily in the southern west. Thus became the new invention the cotton gin invented by Eli Whitney
Which could do the work of 50 men. But this did not mean that slaves where not needed there were other jobs on the farms.
