Major Event [!]

One major event was in 1806. Thomas Jefferson appointed Clark "brigadier general of militia and superintendent of Indian affairs in Louisville, Kentucky. I thought this was a good move because Clark was successful in controlling these problems. While maintaining a consistent policy with the Indians for the next thirty years. In 1813 he was appointed first governor of the newly created Missouri territory. He was reassigned three more times after. Because of the lost of his wife he wasn't able to campaign so he lost. Another reason for Clark's political loss was his support of the factory system of trade with the Indians. I think this had a positive affect on the united states history because he help settle disagreements and negotiate treaties. This gave them solutions to their problems and time after that their were less and less.
