Purchase of Alaska Post

           The Purchase of Alaska was a very controversial thing with the US. Americans thought that what we had done was waste 7.2 million dollars ( how much we bought Alaska for ). The fact was is that that we actually paid 7cents per acre of land, and because that's how big Alaska was.

The political cartoon is showing William Seward (pulling the cart) and his friend ( pushing and no name given ) are sings of symbolism. They are sings of symbolism, because they prove how the US felt about buying Alaska in the late 1800s. it is also an analogy, because people just thought that William seward had just bought a giant block of ice
