USCIS 100:71 Louisiana Territory, Missouri River, and York

Happy African-American History Month.  Today we continue our exploration of the USCIS History and Government questions and African American History.  Today we will talk about USCIS 100:71. What territory did the United States buy from France in 1803? We will first read about Q71 from the USCIS M638 quick civics lesson. Then we will talk about the African-american slave York, member of the Lewis and Clark expedition.  We will also talk about the Missouri River, the Missouri territory, the Missouri Comporomise, and Missouri state.  We will also pause and ask several USCIS bonus questions during the podcast so listen carefully and answer the questions based on the information you hear.  Let's get started!
