Why is Alaska called Seward's Folly?

What Is Seward's FollyAccording to an essay by Stanley Rubenstein published by the Henry George School of Social Science, Russia explored and claimed what is now Alaska during the reign of Peter the Great. Unfortunately it was never profitable for the Russians, so in 1866, Czar Alexander II commissioned his minister to Washington, Baron de Stoeckl, to sell it to the American government. The main reason for the United States' participation in the treaty for Alaska was not economic, but to encourage amicable relations with czarist Russia.

[President Andrew Johnson]'s Secretary of State, William H. Seward negotiated the sale before he was authorized for the final amount of the agreement. He was initially allowed milion, but he asked the State Department if $? million was okay, and because they did not really care about purchasing Alaska, they basically just said, "Sure, Seward. Whatever...." Seward ended up offering Russia $7.2 million, but had much difficulty in getting Congress to approve and then appropriate the funds of money for Alaska, which was by then being referred to as "Seward's Folly," "Seward's Icebox," and "President Andrew Johnson's polar bear garden," mostly by radical republicans who were hostile towards the President, and towards Seward as Johnson's political ally.

How did Johnson and Lincoln's plans address the needs of former slaves?

Both Andrew Johnson and Abraham Lincoln's plans aimed to integrate former slaves into society, but they differed significantly in approach. Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan sought to reintegrate Southern states into the Union and included provisions for limited rights for freedmen, emphasizing reconciliation. In contrast, Johnson's more lenient policies favored rapid restoration of Southern states with minimal protections for former slaves, often undermining efforts to secure their rights and welfare. Ultimately, while both plans acknowledged the need for former slaves to be part of the social fabric, Johnson's lacked the necessary safeguards to ensure their equality and rights.
