Alaska was bought by the United
States in 1867 from Russia, the con
sideration being 81 100000 The pur-
chase was bitterly opposed by men
prominent in both houses of Congress
and the press OF the country walled
loud and long. asserting that the
territory would never produce any
thing more valuable than icebergs,
and that, instead of being source
OF revenue, it would be &C onstant
expense.
Seward, however, was determined
that the United States should Sc
cure the territory. The time was
most suspicious. Russia wanted to
sell. and Russia had been friendly
TO the Union in the Civil War just
closed. The part that Great Britain
had played during the period of
strife had not made Americans love
the British. Alaska Joined the North
American possessions of the crown.
Russia feared that in the event of
trouble with England the lion would
run off with the weak sister across
Boring Strait. If the United States
