They sold it to America because they didn't want England to take it from them.

A sale is a sale, and it doesn't matter what government was in power at the time of the sale.
We got a loan from the French Monarchy to help pay for our war of independence. After the French Revolution, the French Government came to us wanting help to fight the British, we said no.....the deal was with the previous government.

$1 in 1896 → 2025 | Inflation Calculator

The 2.87% inflation rate means $1 in 1896 is equivalent to $38.27 today. This inflation calculator uses the official US consumer price index published by the Department of Labor.

$1 in 1896 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $38.27 today, an increase of $37.27 over 129 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.87% per year between 1896 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 3,726.96%.

This means that today's prices are 38.27 times as high as average prices since 1896, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 2.613% of what it could buy back then.

The inflation rate in 1896 was 0.00%. The current inflation rate compared to the end of last year is now 2.35%. If this number holds, $1 today will be equivalent in buying power to $1.02 next year. The current inflation rate page gives more detail on the latest inflation rates.

Generally, the Moscow empire is a country of astonishing, truly cosmic harmony: absolutely everything in it is repulsive. The government, the opposition, the climate, the roads, the media, the economy – not a single detail spoils the picture by breaking away from the overall style.
We must eradicate this evil empire, still, should Alaska & California be returned to the Moscow Empire?

yap, Moscow empire sold Alaska after being broken by the free world’s industrial powers. The Crimean War had exposed its weakness—its army crushed, its navy humiliated. The empire was bleeding, desperate to stay afloat. Alaska was too far, too costly, and too vulnerable.

The sale was a retreat, not a deal. The Tsar, watching his empire crumble, saw no way out. In the end, he chose death over disgrace. The crown fell, and the empire’s grip on the world slipped away.
