The Americans wanted to find the Pacific Ocean because that could open trade routes and enemies could come to the U.S. from the Pacific Ocean in the west and attack us.

I think that Americans were interested in moving west because the population in the 13 colonies was growing which means that more houses and industries were going up and the farm land was decreasing. Also Americans were living a dirty life style like throwing their trash out on the streets.

One purpose of finding the harbors in the pacific could’ve been to open up trade routes. Another could’ve been to open up the waters for easier transportation. The traders were hoping to achieve finding new harbors for trading and possibly easier transportation.

The purpose of locating harbors on the Pacific was that it was a national border. The traders were hoping to achieve full security and safety. For example if another country was going to attack the harbors it would be good security.

The purpose of locating harbors on the Pacific was so that Americans had a trade route. Plus they needed a water route to Alaska and the other states on the west. Another reason is so that they had a direct water route to the Pacific and they wanted complete access to the Gulf of Mexico. Traders were looking for trade routes and new people to trade with.
