<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.

What social or political ideas may prevent the rise of fascists in nations
Temka [501]

Answer:

(THIS MIGHT NOT BE 100% CORRECT!!!)

you would hope that people as individulas could recognize the importance of a government that is fair and representative in all aspects unlike a facist dictatorship. facist governments often supress the rights of the people and the constitution is a political spear head that was created to help prevent facism in the united states, although as times have changed so have peoples perspective on things which has made it easier for people to simply subscribe to what ie easiest and not what is right.

Describe the brown vs the board of education PLEASE I REALLY NEED THIS
VARVARA [1.3K]

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. The decision effectively overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation, insofar as it applied to public education.
