At about 12 years old, she was captured by a rival Hidatsa tribe and later sold to a French-Canadian fur trader, Toussaint Charbonneau, who took her as his wife.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>Joining the Expedition (1804):</strong> When Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out to explore the Louisiana Purchase and find a route to the Pacific, they hired Charbonneau as an interpreter. Sacagawea, pregnant at the time, joined them as well.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>Her Contributions:</strong></p>&#10;<ul>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>Interpreter &amp; Diplomat:</strong> She spoke Shoshone and Hidatsa, which helped the expedition communicate with Native nations.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>Guide:</strong> She recognized landmarks from her childhood and helped the group navigate difficult terrain.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>Symbol of Peace:</strong> Traveling with a woman and her infant son (Jean Baptiste, born during the expedition) signaled to Native groups that the explorers were not a war party.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>Critical Role:</strong> She helped the Corps of Discovery obtain horses from the Shoshone&#8212;essential for crossing the Rocky Mountains.</p>&#10;</li><li><p><strong>William Clark helped raise Sacagawea&#8217;s son, Jean Baptiste Charbonneau.</strong></p><p>Here&#8217;s how it unfolded:</p><p>&#10;&#10;</p><ul>&#10;<li>&#10;<p>During the <strong>Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804&#8211;1806)</strong>, Sacagawea gave birth to her son <strong>Jean Baptiste</strong>, nicknamed <em>Pomp</em>. Clark became very fond of the baby and often mentioned him in his journals.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p>After the expedition, in 1809, <strong>Sacagawea and Charbonneau brought Jean Baptiste to live with Clark</strong> in St. Louis for his education. Clark had promised to help with his schooling, and he kept that promise.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p>Clark effectively became Jean Baptiste&#8217;s <strong>guardian and sponsor</strong>, enrolling him in a school and later helping him travel to Europe, where he lived for several years with Duke Friedrich of W&#252;rttemberg.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p>Jean Baptiste grew up to be a <strong>well-traveled man</strong> &#8212; a fur trapper, guide, and gold prospector. He lived much of his life in the American West and California.</p></li></ul></li>&#10;</ul>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>Later Life:</strong> After the expedition, Sacagawea lived at Fort Mandan and then in St. Louis for a time. Her exact date of death is uncertain: some records suggest she died in 1812 at Fort Manuel in present-day South Dakota, while Shoshone oral tradition says she lived until 1884 in Wyoming.</p></li></ul></li>&#10;</ul>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>War of 1812 (1812&#8211;1815)</strong></p>&#10;<ul>&#10;<li>&#10;<p>U.S. vs. Britain over trade and sovereignty.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p>Some enslaved people fled to British lines, gaining freedom.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>Treaty of Ghent (1814):</strong> Ended the war, but disputes remained about escaped enslaved people.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;</ul>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>Ban on the Slave Trade</strong></p>&#10;</li><ul>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>U.S. Constitution (1787):</strong> Allowed slave imports until 1808.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>1808 U.S. Ban:</strong> Congress outlawed importing enslaved Africans.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p><strong>Britain&#8217;s Ban (1807):</strong> Britain abolished the transatlantic trade and began naval patrols.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;<li>&#10;<p>U.S.&#8211;British cooperation after 1808 reinforced suppression of the trade.</p>&#10;</li>&#10;</ul>&#10;&#10;</ol><p><br></p><p>Read for next week</p><p></p>
