Lordganon: Britain did invade Crimea, why it couldn't invade Alaska? As for the Americans, from their point of view the situation is similar to the precedents of Texas and California: a local "despotic" and weak (and too loosely connected to the central government) administration suppresses the American citizens starving for freedom of enterprise. With the Gold Rush money on stake, I think the US wouldn't mind getting involved into yet another war for greater justice.
