WHO

IS

DEADLIEST?!

Lets see who is deadliest between these two (or three) 19th century warriors in this Heroes vs Villan Match-up

First up.... Lewis and Clark
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, better known collectively as Lewis and Clark, were early US pioneers who led an expedition into the unexplored Western territories. The expedition was not one of conquest; the goals of Lewis and Clark's group were both scientific and commerical. The thirty-three travelers (Lewis and Clark included) studied the plants and animals of the area and sent reports to the American government of how the region could be used for economic benefit. They brought many weapons with them for hunting purposes - every member of the expedition had their own musket and knife. The Lewis and Clark expedition is famed for being one of peace and simply bringing benefit to the fledgling nation. However, conflict with the Natives was inevitable (several close encounters with the Sioux ended only in an uneasy peace), and in 1804 the group came into conflict with Blackfeet tribesmen over a simple misunderstanding. At the end of their journey, Lewis and Clark had traveled through French-controlled Louisiana (which was much larger than the present-day state) and the unclaimed Native lands to the northwest, ending their travels at Fort Clatsop in what would become the state of Washington.

Up Next...... Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon Bonaparte was the famous leader and the Emperor of the French. Born in Corsica, Napoleon grew up uender the First French Republic and served successfully in campaigns against the First and Second Coalition. After staging a coup d'état in 1799, Napoleon installed himself as the First Consul. Five years later, the French Senate made him emperor of the nation. During his reign, the emperor waged a series of wars called the Napoleonic Wars. His main goal was to spread the influence of France and expand his empire. Bonaparte's success was due in part to his alliances through his friends and family members who took command of nations that fell to French forces. After his failures in his invasion of Russia of 1812, his campaign for expansion came to an end. After being defeated in the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon was imprisoned on the island of Saint Helena by his subordinates. While there, the emperor died of stomach cancer; however, scientists believe he died from arsenic poisoning.
