I believe that Alaska was the most important place for the U.S. to acquire in the late 1800s. I believe this because Alaska became our 49th state. However, that is not all, Alaska also came with farmland, gold, and oil, all good natural resources that we needed. We increased the area of the U.S. by 1/5 and we now have trade in the Pacific as well.
