If slavery built the USA in general, then how did slavery build Alaska specifically? Alaska became the 49th state in 1959; that is 94 years after the Civil War. The area was purchased from the Russians in 1867, that is 2 years after the 13th amendment abolished slavery. Today, only between 3% & 4% of Alaska's population is Black.
