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.From: http://eefy.editme.com/WhatIsSewardsFolly
Was Alaska once part of Soviet Union?
Alaska had never been a part of the "Soviet Union" but it had been a part of Russia before Russia formed the Soviet Union. Russia agreed to sell the land that is now Alaska to the United States in 1867 for 7.2 million dollars. The deal was then known as Seward's Folly after Secretary of State William H. Seward, who brokered the deal. It doesn't look like such folly now.
