The Russians were mainly interested in the wealth of furs from the vast herds of seals they found there.By the mid-1800s, most of the seal herds had been wiped out, and Russia no longer wanted to keep Alaska. William Seward, Secretary of State for Presiden
32、t Johnson, believed the United States should buy Alaska from Russia.
