Alaska

The Alaska purchase from Russia by the United States occurred in 1867 at the behest of Secretary of State William Seward. (see seward's folly) also see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_purchase

He was William Seward from New York. Lincoln made him Secretary of State and he continued in the office under President Andrew Johnson. Skeptics referred to Alaska as Seward's folly and Seward's icebox.

I believe Alaska was bougth for about $7,200,000 or about 2 cents per acre around the 1820's or 30's. Hope this helps!

Germany has never possessed Alaska. The area that became Alaska was purchased from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for 7.2 million dollars (that are 2 cents per acre) after Congress concluded its resources could be vitally important to the nation's future growth. The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized territory on May 11, 1912 and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959. The largest self-reported ancestry groups in the state are German (16.6%).

In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the United States for $7,200,000 or about 2 cents an acre. The U.S. purchase was accomplished solely through the determined efforts of Secretary of State William H. Seward, and for many years afterward the land was derisively called Seward's Folly or Seward's Icebox because of its supposed uselessness. Since Alaska appeared to offer no immediate financial return, it was neglected.

Because, after Secretary of State William Henry Seward bought Alaska in 1867, most people thought that the land was useless and that it was absurd for Seward to have spent the money to buy such a place.

Alaska was purchased from Russia in the 1860's. The US simply asked the people in Hawaii if they wanted to become part of the US, they agreed, Hawaii was annexed in 1898. Britain, Japan, and the US always had had an interest in Hawaii because of it's strategic position...the citizens there KNEW that; they probably felt that rather than be fought over by other nations, better to go with the best one now while the offer was still good.

How much is the fine for failure to yield to emergency vehicle?

In Alaska, speed limits in some rural areas may be 65 mph, but drivers are warned that frost heaves and moose pose serious hazards. There may not be guardrails where drivers from out of state might expect them. Although most paved roads have wide shoulders, there are also stretches were shoulders are narrow or nonexistent. Winter driving -- between October and April, depending on the location -- brings its own hazards of ice, snow and wind although the state Department of Transportation does a pretty good job of clearing the roads.

Sarah Palin grew up in Skagway, Eagle River, and Wasilla. They are all in Alaska. Yep!! Sarah Palin is a true Alaskan!!

Corrupt to its very roots, under continued investigation by the FBI, IRS and Grand Juries it is a shell still waiting the final collapse. Those that survive will be the ones that turned States Evidence and collaborated with prosecutors. Many good public servants have been tainted with the brush of corruption and few will survive indictment. All were corrupted by big money interests.
