What was the corps of discovery?
In 1803, when was President of the United States, the U.S. purchased the Louisiana Territory from France. This was a huge tract of over 800,000 square miles, taking in nearly the entire mid-section of North America from present-day Texas and Louisiana up to Montana and North Dakota. This almost doubled the size of the new country. Much of the new territory was unexplored. Jefferson decided to send an expedition up the Missouri River to its source in the western mountains and beyond to the Pacific Ocean. Jefferson hoped that the expedition would be able to find the elusive Northwest Passage, a water route across the country, which would be a great boon to commerce. So in that same year, Jefferson commissioned the Corps of Discovery under the command of his trusted private secretary, Meriwether Lewis. Besides seeking the Northwest Passage, Lewis was to map the new territory, assess its natural resources, and make contact with its inhabitants, befriending them if possible. Lewis recruited his friend William Clark to share equally in the command of the expedition, as well as a force of over 40 men. The members of the Corps of Discovery were soldiers, but their purpose was peaceful -- exploration, diplomacy, and science. Lewis was commissioned as a Captain of the Army of the United States, Clark as a Lieutenant (although this inferior rank was kept secret from the men, and Clark was always called "Captain").
Why did Lewis and clark fight with the blackfeet Indians?
Lewis fought boy ages 13 to 15, there were no warriors present. historians need to tell the truth. The Blackfeet youth, did try to steal horses. My great great great grand father was Wolf Calf, who fought Lewis at age 13. Lewis and one of his crew members stabbed to death one boy, and shot the other as he was running away.

How much is a 2004 louisiana purchase 1803 e pluribus unum worth today?
5¢, the same as all of the Lewis and Clark bicentennial nickels in circulation. Also note that ALL U.S. coins carry the motto "E Pluribus Unum" (From Many, One) so that doesn't help to identify any specific coin. Date, denomination, and mint mark are the most important factors.
