Alexander II was the Emperor of Russia, King of Poland, and Grand Duke of Finland from 2 March 1855 until his assassination on 13 March 1881. Alexander's most significant reform as emperor was the emancipation of Russia's serfs in 1861, for which he is known as Alexander the reformer. In 1867, he sold Russian America to the United States for $7.2 million, which became the Department of Alaska, and then the District of Alaska in 1884, and then the Territory of Alaska in 1912, and Alaska finally became a state in 1959.
