The Purchase of Alaska
This is from the US Dept. of State’s website. They tell how the purchase went down and why the Russians wanted the US to have the land, and not the British. The last paragraph here is interesting because it talks about what happened after the purchase: we didn’t do much with it at all for a very long time!
Reconstruction – Purchase of Alaska

This is another source that discusses feudalism in all of Europe, but it does contain one paragraph that specifically mentions how feudalism was unique in Germany compared to other places. You’ll have to scroll down a little and you’ll see Germany in bold print.
