Congress approved the purchase of Alaska in 1867 primarily for strategic and economic reasons. The acquisition, negotiated by Secretary of State William H. Seward for $7.2 million, was seen as a way to expand U.S. territory, bolster national security, and access Natural Resources. Additionally, the purchase was motivated by the desire to remove Russia as a colonial presence in North America. Over time, Alaska proved valuable due to its rich natural resources, including gold and oil.
