What areas did Seward believe the United States should acquire in the Pacific?

History

The correct answer is Alaska

Critics scoffed at "Seward's madness". That was what they called the Alaskan purchase, associating it with then Secretary of State William Seward, who had done the deal.

Time ended up giving Seward a reason: an acquisition showed one of the most profitable businesses in history.

The Alaskan purchase added more than 1.5 million square kilometers to the United States. Thus, if we analyze only the price of the square kilometer today in that state, it is estimated that the territory is worth 150 times more than Washington paid for it.

But Alaska is much more than a piece of icy land. It is also a huge deposit of natural resources: less than 20 years after the deal was closed, a race for gold started in the region.

Taya2010 [7]

The FEMA website would be more likely to have accurate information than an outside source.

The FEMA website, being a government source, would report their data and information and accurately as possible.

Outside sources regarding FEMA would contain bias, personal experience, and potentially slanted data. FEMA could have misrepresented data but they answer to the government and the people of the country, whereas outside sources answer to an organization or business. Outside sources would need to be corroborated to verify the information. Though all sources should be verified and corroborated, typically government sources are most accurate.
