Alaska Purchase a Price Less Than Two Cents an Acre
The 1867 Alaska transfer, arranged by William H. Seward and Baron de Stoeckl, swapped 375 million acres for 7.2 million dollars. The deal consolidated U S power on the Pacific slope and marked Russia's withdrawal from North America as Capt Pestchourov transferred Alaska to the United States. Alaska finally faced statehood prospects as years passed.

Russian Plans for California and Alaska Collapse
Rezanov's attempt to win a dowry through marriage to Dona Concepcion de Arguello faltered as religious conflict loomed. A partial treaty plan sent him to Sitka and then Rome, but illness and death ended the venture. Baranov launched a colony at Bodega Bay with 95 Russians and crews, yet fear of American expansion and the Monroe Doctrine doomed the effort. Russia later sold Fr. Rossiya to John A. Sutter, while gold and hawaiian ventures undermined northern holdings.
