Answer:

The Alaska Purchase (Russian: Продажа Аляски, romanized: Prodazha Aliaski, meaning "Sale of Alaska") was the United States' acquisition of Alaska from the Russian Empire. Alaska was formally transferred to the United States on October 18, 1867, through a treaty ratified by the United States Senate.

Russia had established a presence in North America during the first half of the 18th century, but few Russians ever settled in Alaska. In the aftermath of the Crimean War, Russian Tsar Alexander II began exploring the possibility of selling Alaska, which would be difficult to defend in any future war from being conquered by Russia's main archrival, the United Kingdom. Following the end of the American Civil War, U.S. Secretary of State William Seward entered into negotiations with Russian minister Eduard de Stoeckl for the purchase of Alaska. Seward and Stoeckl agreed to a treaty on March 30, 1867, and the treaty was ratified by the United States Senate by a wide margin.

The purchase added 586,412 square miles (1,518,800 km2) of new territory to the United States for the cost of $7.2 million 1867 dollars (one cent per acre). In modern terms, the cost was equivalent to $132 million in 2019 dollars or $0.37 per acre.[1] Reactions to the purchase in the United States were mostly positive, as many believed possession of Alaska would serve as a base to expand American trade in Asia. Some opponents labeled the purchase as "Seward's Folly", or "Seward's Icebox",[2] as they contended that the United States had acquired useless land. Nearly all Russian settlers left Alaska in the aftermath of the purchase; Alaska would remain sparsely populated until the Klondike Gold Rush began in 1896. Originally organized as the Department of Alaska, the area was renamed the District of Alaska (1884) and the Alaska Territory (1912) before becoming the modern State of Alaska in 1959.

Why'd Booker T. Washington become a civil rights activist?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

At one of Booker's jobs in a regional coal mine, he first overheard two workers address the Hampton Institute. It was a school for previous slaves in southeastern Virginia founded by General Samuel Chapman. Chapman had been a general of black troops for the Union during the Civil War and was dedicated to improving educational opportunities for African Americans.

Booker wanted to be just like Samuel, so in the year 1872, Washington walked 500 miles to Hampton. He went on to study at Wayland Seminary in Washington, D.C. Booker had fascinated and satisfied Samuel Chapman, so he was invited to return to Hampton as a teacher in the year 1879. Chapman suggested Washington for a role as an administrator of a new academy for African Americans in Tuskegee, Alabama. It was called the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute.

What is the self fulfilling prophecy what factors can help prevent a self-fulfilling?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

self-fulfilling prophecy is a belief or expectation that an individual holds about a future event that manifests because the individual holds it

Explanation:

Self-fulfilling prophecy is a prophecy in which an individual makes his or prediction to come true unknowingly simply because he or she expects that to happen. For example, a football team manager expects academy graduates in their club to be less skilled and so he refuses to play them regularly, when he brings them on during football matches, they are rusty and don’t play well which makes his prophecy to come true.  

Since negative thoughts can make things happen so are the positive thoughts as well. We need the positive thoughts in all cases and the following steps can break the cycle;

If the person who is the perceiver is motivated to obtain exact impression of the next person, then their expectation of that person would become more objective. In the other step, if the person or target knows that the perceiver bears wrongs expectation of him or her, then the target can adjust his or her behavior to counter such wrong expectations.

The church had seemed to inherit the authority of the old Roman Empire. The church became a vast bureaucracy. Its territories were divided and subdivided into dioceses and parishes. Its leaders were arranged in a hierarchy of authority and importance with the pope at the top, and the pope even claimed the title "pontifex maximus," a religious title once used.
