Russia offered to sell Alaska in 1859 because they were in debt from the Crimean War. The U.S. did not initially make this purchase because of Civil War debts.
At the time of the purchase, America was still in a expansive mood. No one knew of any resources in Alaska then. Oil was not a big one for anyone. Alaska was even called "Stewart's Folly" (Stewart was a secretary of the interior) and a waste of federal money. (The dang place went for about 10 cents per square mile!)
Stewart wanted to simplify the map of North America and to block the British in Canada from further expansion as the USA and the British Empire were still not the best of friends.
Also, the Russians felt they could never have a firm hold on such a distance colony, needed some cash in a hurry because of a pending war with the Ottoman Empire and the Tzar on the throne at the time was a bit wacky.
It was strictly a move by the USA to secure the last major piece of real estate still open in North America.
I hope this helps:)
You should give him water to drink and observe him closely.
A current that runs parallel to the beach in the area where waves break is known as a longshore current. When waves hit a beach at an angle, longshore currents form. Longshore drift is the term for the transfer of silt by longshore currents.
Longshore drift is the flow of sediments along a coastline caused by waves that come in at an angle to the shore before reversing course and moving straight away. In a "sheet-like" arrangement, water in a longshore current moves up the beach before returning to the ocean. This sheet of water can carry beach sand back out to sea as it passes over and off the beach. As the longshore current sweeps down current, floating objects move up and down the beach in a zigzag manner.

The advantage of an assembly line is that he has to think less aout what needs to be done as it automates the whole process, a disadvantage of the assembly line is that the required output is much higher than it was required of workers in previous periods.
Answer:
Dally Winston acts very gangster. He has icy blue eyes and has white-blonde hair. Dally was hardened because of a tough upbringing, and he even went to jail. He acts mean and tough, but in reality is a nice guy. He is very caring, since he helped Johnny and Ponyboy after Johnny killed Bob. All Dally cared about was Johnny. So when Johnny dies, he lets himself be shot by a policeman so that he could die, as there was no point of living since Johnny died.
I am like him since I am loyal to my friends, and I would sponsor them. However, I don't act tough and I've never committed a crime or been to jail. I also don't have white hair or blue eyes. I care a lot for the homies.
