Alaska is indeed The 49th state in the United States. Originally a Russian possession after being claimed by Vitus Bering; a Danish Explorer, who was commissioned by the Czar to explore for the Great White land to the east (Alyeska).

In 1867, William Henry Seward (Secretary of State for the United States under President Johnson), arranged the purchase of Alaska from the Russian Government for $7.2 million dollars.

In 1896, gold in incredible volumes was discovered in the Klondike territory of Canada, a short 60 miles upstream (on the Yukon River) from Alaska's territorial Federal Court.

Hundreds of thousands of "Stampeder's" headed north and were met by the Northwest Mounted Police (The Mounties), at the Alaska/Canada border, on the Chilkoot Pass (The Golden staircase).

The Canadian Mounties mandated all travelers must have in possession, one years worth of supplies to continue their journey to Dawson City, the heart of the strike.

After the Gold Rush, the U. S. and Canadian Government signed the boundary treaty in 1922; thus establishing the official border between Alaska and Canada.

During World War 2, Alaska played a vital role in the Pacific theater. The Japanese invaded Attu, and Kiska Islands of Alaska's Aleutian chain, imprisoning the Aleut (ALI-YOOT), Indians, and sending them to Japanese Prisoner of War Camps on mainland Japan.

In hurried meetings the United States and Canada agreed to build the Alcan Highway to connect Alaska with a protected land route in order to supply Alaska against an invasion by the Japanese. With Alaska's rich mineral deposits, and oil reserves it was a prime military target for The Japanese.

In 1959 Alaska became the 49th star on the United States National Flag when President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Alaska Statehood Act.

Yes, we SHOULD sell the richest state in the US. We don't need it. It's not like it contains the largest amount of oil in the northern hemisphere or has the greatest amount of tourism of any other state. Not to mention being among the most beautiful places on earth. And who needs those strategic military bases that are our only protection against North Korea. Yeah let's sell it. Alaska is one of the most resource rich and necessary states in the US.
