ALASKA was once sovereign Russian territory before being sold to the United States in 1867 for $4 million dollars. At the time, the deal was called "Seward's Folly", since it was believed that Secretary Seward made an egregious mistake in buying Alaska. However, Alaska has since revealed itself to have massive gold and petroleum resources that make its acquisition worthwhile.
