Alaska Political Cartoon

Alaska Describe the events of 1867

• Secretary of State William H. Seward arranged for the purchase of Alaska from Russia for $7.2million (2 cents an acre)

• Called ‘Seward’s Folly’ (silliness) by those who thought it was a frozen wasteland, it was actually full of valuable resources:

– Thick forests, plentiful fish and wildlife, mild costal climates.

– Eventually, settlers would discover gold, copper, coal, and other minerals there.

• With such natural resources at stake, expansionists felt that the United States should gain control over other areas of the world as well.

• Seward also secured the rights to the Midway Islands located in the Pacific Ocean mid-way between California and Asia.

Spain, Filipino fighters were willing to join the Americans

because they wanted independence from Spanish rule.

They eventually felt betrayed because the United States

bought the Philippines from Spain instead of allowing it to

become an independent nation.

have a grand new

harbor, and we
