Hint: Decision making process data sheet
Use the information and pretend you are the Tsar of Russia or Secretary of State of the United States of America and outline what might have been their decision making process.
Background information
Representatives of the Russian emperor, Alexander II, approached representatives from Great Britain for the purpose of selling the Russian American territory (Alaska) to them. They refused so they next approached the United States, with the same offer during President Buchanan and Secretary of State John Appleton. An offer of $5 million may have been made, but negotiations were halted.
- The territory was a vast tract of land, that some people believed was useless and it would be foolish to purchase. Later it was called Seward’s Folly, Seward’s Icebox, and was also referred to as a polar bear garden.
- After the sale there was support for the purchase which can be noted in newspapers of the time.
- The Russian government needed money to pay off their debts. They had borrowed $15 million from the Rothschilds and was paying 5% yearly interest.
- England had a colony on Vancouver Island and a gold rush on the mainland caused them to expand colonization to the main land of British Columbia.
- The Russian government had just fought a war with England and were worried they might have to fight another if England wanted this territory to add to their Canadian territory.
- Grand Duke Konstantin, younger brother of Tsar Alexander II believe if Canada didn’t want it the Americans would as he believed they wanted to dominate all of North America.
- American fishermen had been fishing off this land. Without Russia providing these rights, they could legally stop the fishing, and seize the fishing vessels and those aboard.
- Some Americans believed the purchase would weaken Russian and English influence in the northern Pacific.
Seward offers to buy and the Russian government agrees to sell the land for $7.2 million.
Years later, many parks and natural preserves were created and many natural resources were found there.

- Your word is your bond.

- It is the function of government’s to provide for it’s citizens in ethical legal ways.

- The price of the land is a bargain at 2 cents an acre and will provide future opportunities for Americans.

Tsar or Russia - Values:
- It is the function of government’s to provide for it’s citizens in ethical legal ways.

- Your word is your bond. I should pay my debts, I shouldn’t default on them. I said I would and I value my word.
- The Tsar could borrow money from the Rothschilds to buy property and give to the Russian peasants which allows them to own their own land in Eurasia Russia, which would help them more than having sovereign land so far away from Russia in Alaska.

Secretary of State - Decide to buy land. Know that a previous offer of $5 million was rejected so offered $7.2 million.

Tsar or Russia - Was able to get $7.2 million dollars and may have thought it was okay to not have the land any more or may have regretted losing the land, but resolved it was what needed to be done to get a lot of money in a short time.
