D. They received government subsidies and land grants to finance railroad construction
B. Sewards folly
Explanation:
- Secretary of State William Seward began negotiations with the Russian ambassador to the United States, Eduard de Stoeckl, in March 1867.
- The handover was soon confirmed for a relatively modest $ 7.2 million (worth just over $ 100 million today).
- This must have seemed like a good outcome, because Russia generally failed to develop Alaska, but still made a lot of sales. However, the United States would reach a far better deal if we looked at the matter from a long-term perspective.
- Because Alaska was so isolated and sparsely populated, shopping was met with indignation among certain circles in America, and some newspapers called it "Seward's Folly."
- However, the majority praised the agreement, understanding that it would help diminish British power in the region and American strategic interests in the Pacific.

Answer:
John Brown
Explanation:
Brown was a northerner and believed that slavery should be combated with violence and not with peace, since the act of enslaving was a violent and aggressive act. Because of this thought he, together with a group of men led by him, forged the "Masstaque de Pottawatomie" in May 1856, where they murdered in cold blood five southern slaveholders, so that they could serve as examples to other southerners about what could happen to them if they rejected the abolition proposals.
