What areas did Seward believe the United States should acquire in the Pacific?

The correct answer is Alaska

Critics scoffed at "Seward's madness". That was what they called the Alaskan purchase, associating it with then Secretary of State William Seward, who had done the deal.

Time ended up giving Seward a reason: an acquisition showed one of the most profitable businesses in history.

The Alaskan purchase added more than 1.5 million square kilometers to the United States. Thus, if we analyze only the price of the square kilometer today in that state, it is estimated that the territory is worth 150 times more than Washington paid for it.

But Alaska is much more than a piece of icy land. It is also a huge deposit of natural resources: less than 20 years after the deal was closed, a race for gold started in the region.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
