SEWARD’S DAY IN ALASKA..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank You<\/em><\/span> NATIONAL<\/span> TODAY \/ NATIONAL DAY CALENDAR..<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Seward\u2019s Day, which falls on the last Monday in March and takes place on March 31 this year, is named for then-Secretary of State William H. Seward, who was responsible for the purchase in the first place. This legal holiday (in Alaska) commemorates the day the Alaska Purchase treaty was signed. This day shouldn\u2019t be confused with National Alaska Day, however, which marks the formal transfer of control of Alaska from Russia to the U.S.<\/p>\n

A long long time ago \u2014 around the 18th century \u2014 Alaska was owned by the Russians. Then came the Crimean War. Fought for the rights of Christian minorities in the Holy Land (a part of the Ottoman Empire), Russia fought against the alliance of France, the Ottoman Empire, the United Kingdom, and Sardinia, and lost. Reeling from this, Russian Tsar Alexander II started exploring options to raise money for the country. He turned his gaze towards Alaska. Not only had the sea otter population vastly declined, but Alaska would also prove to be very difficult to defend in the event of a future war. Especially since the British forces were based out of neighboring Canada.<\/p>\n
