A3) I'm not quite sure how diverse was though it may have reflected America at that time. Whereas I that the de Anza Exposition included people from European, African & Native American ancestry. #ParkChat
Q3: The Corps of Discovery was remarkably resilient and adaptable due to its diversity. In what ways do you think the diversity of the Corps reflects the diversity of America? #parkchat

Actually the Corps of Discovery was remarkably diverse! In addition to a woman (Sacagawea) and an African American (York) it also included immigrants (John Potts), men from privileged economic backgrounds (Lewis) as well as working class, and others.

A3. Well, the obvious answer is that it included a woman, a Native American, a black man. But, it was also made up of men who were educated, and those who were not; with military experience, and with none.

When they reached the Pacific they voted to decide on which side of the Columbia to spend the winter of 1805-6. Sacagawea & York were both given a vote. The 1st time in US history a woman voted. 1st time in US history a black man voted.
