Alaska Purchase
Acquisition in 1867 by the U.S. from Russia of 586,412 sq mi (1.5 million sq km) at the northwestern tip of North America, comprising the current U.S. state of Alaska. The territory, held by Russia since 1741, was considered an economic liability, and in 1866 it was offered for sale. Pres. Andrew Johnson's secretary of state, William Seward, negotiated its purchase for $7.2 million, or about two cents per acre. Critics labeled the purchase “Seward's Folly.” Congressional opposition delayed the appropriation until 1868, when extensive lobbying and bribes by the Russian minister to the U.S. secured the required votes. |

Well, they did that to Hawaii......They just came in and claimed it a part of US.....Really didn't give the local citizens much of a choice or say in the matter....
"The overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii and the subsequent annexation of Hawaii are sometimes cited as examples of American imperialism." |

No and we didn't steal Alaska. We didn't steal anything from Mexico either. Your accusations are goofy. |

I find it difficult to believe that you are this ignorant on purpose.
America provides a free education to all who are willing to attend, I suggest you stop sniffing glue and get to school. |
