<u>Answer:</u>

The purchase led to a gold strike and the US seal skin industry

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alaska was a Russian colony which was later bought by the United States back in 1867 at a price of $7.2 million and later made into a state in 1959.

The Secretary of State William Seward, who basically purchased Alaska was mocked as people termed Alaska as a wasteland.

However, after a few years, a huge gold vein was discovered in Alaska which later led to a gold strike and the US seal skin industry.

Nobles began collecting more taxes from the peasants working the land. Nobles formed private armies. The shogun commanded the emperor's military government.

How did shelters of American Indian tribes in the northeast differ from those in the Great Plains?
Olenka [21]

<em>I think the answer is A.</em>

<em>The reason I say this is because Northern American Indians had access to more trees (depending on where in the North) and they would commonly use baby saplings to not only make tools but their frames for animal hide houses (not exactly Tipis these were shaped like boxes). In the Great Plains there wasn't exactly that much wood but there was however mud, and this led to some of the natives using mud to make Sod houses.</em>

<em>Hope this helps and have a nice day.</em>
