Alaska

Who United States & Russia Russia owned Alaska (aka “Russian America) from 1799 - 1867

Who, What, How Russia in debt from war Sec.of State William H. Seward agreed to purchase Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million. (that’s only about 2 cents an acre!) At the time, critics thought Seward was crazy and called the deal "Seward's folly."

When The sale took place in 1867

Seen as a frozen waist land

Delaware!

Why did the US get involved? Expand power & gain natural resources! Major discoveries of gold made in AK in the 1880s and 1890s. Brought attention and people to Alaska. Today, petroleum transported across the state through a pipeline is Alaska's richest mineral resource.

“The Purchase of Alaska” Questions to think about while reading: What was going on in the US when Alaska was purchased from Russia? Why was the sale considered a “folly”? When and why did attitudes towards Alaska change? How were the native people of Alaska treated?

“America Becomes a World Power”--Alaska

Hawaii

Where Hawaii is in the Pacific Ocean, about 2,387 mi from CA

Who Until the late 1890s, Hawaii is ruled by a monarch. American Sugar and Pineapple Planters on the island become very wealthy and powerful.

Liliuokalani Last queen of Hawaii 1891-1893

What happened and How did it happen? Queen Liliuokalani is removed from power by American military force Pressure had been put on the gov’t from strong businessmen w/ interests in Hawai (including Sanford Dole – the pineapple guy!)

When Hawaii becomes annexed to the US in1898 Why did the US get involved: America gains greater access to goods!

Pineapple Plants

Sugar Cane

“The Annexation of Hawaii” Questions to think about: How were American missionaries treated when they first arrived in Hawaii? Why did planters want Hawaii to be part of the US? What was President Cleveland’s stance on the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani and the annexation of Hawaii?

“America Becomes a World Power”--Hawaii

Closer In your opinion, do you think it was a good idea for the United States to purchase Alaska and Hawaii? Why or why not?
