Here it is :

#1 -
In foreign affairs, Johnson allowed to be guided by his secretary of state, In 1863, by force of arms, France had set up European Prince as the so-called emperor of Mexico. This was a flagrant violation of the United States policy called the Monroe Doctrine, which forbade European intervention in the western hemisphere. During the war, Seward had been unable to do more then register the disapproval of the United States. By 1867, however, Seward’s firm pressure on France had resulted in the withdraw of all troops from Mexico.


#2 ....... After a fiasco with Cuba and the Lecompton Constitution, the United States was more careful in the methods it used to expand. In 1867, the Secretary of State, William H. Seward bought Alaska from the Russian czar. The purchase was not popular, as the public saw 7.2 million dollars being spent on "Seward's Folly" and "Seward's Icebox." It was not until the turn of the century that the purchase paid for itself after gold was discovered on the Klondike.
