Russian Colonization: Motivations for the Establishment of A Russian Presence in Europe and Alaska
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing the motivations behind the Russian colonization of Europe and Alaska. The motivations behind the Russian colonization of Europe and Alaska are considered quite different. Primarily, the difference lies in the fact that Russian colonization in Europe is considered to be politically motivated while the Russian presence in Alaska is commercially based. In addition, during the 1700s and 1800s, Russia was extremely powerful in its military, and thanks to the reign and insight of Catherine II, this powerful military was used to further establish Russia’s presence within Europe as its borders expanded to the East and the West to strengthen its power and suppress any revolts and uprisings in the region. Contrary to the political agenda of Russia at the time, private fur traders established a settlement in Alaska. These private traders managed to obtain a charter from Paul I establishing the Russian-American Company and gain sole trading rights in America for twenty years. Despite the entrepreneurship of the traders and the establishment of Orthodox communities in the region, continued political pressures from Europe led to Russia’s decision to sell Alaska to the U.S. in 1867 and thus ending their commercial enterprises in the area.

Slavery and the Capitalistic Premise of the United States
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the importance of the institution of slavery to capitalism. In the U.S., however, the issues surrounding slavery lasted long past the time where the institution was becoming extinct in other regions of the world. This long life can be attributed to the relative age of the U.S. during the time when we most depended on slavery and the extent of the resources which we had at our disposal. Effective utilization of these resources demanded that we rely on the institution of slavery. The contention is presented that whites in both the north and the south recognized this dependence and even at the time preceding the civil war northern whites were largely in support of slavery as long as it didn’t expand past those regions in which it was already ingrained. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
