Alaska became a state because Russia sold it to America because Russian government officials felt that they could not protect this far-flung colony if another nation decided to seize it. The sale of Russian America had been brewing for some years, and probably would have taken place sooner if the war in the United States had not kept Congress too busy to think about such matters as buying more real estate. United States Security of State Willian F. Seward, a man of determination and foresight, knew that Russia was willing to sell and worked hard to persuade Congress that Russian America was worth the $7,200,000 price tag.
