From whom did President Andrew B Johnson buy Alaska for 2 cents an acre?
The United States bought Alaska from Russia. According to The American Heritage® Dictionary, the territory was purchased from Russia in 1867 for $7,200,000 and was known as Seward's Folly (after Secretary of State William H. Seward, who negotiated the purchase) until gold was discovered in the late 1800s. Alaska became the 49th state in 1959. More information on Alaska can be found at the related link below. Initially, the Russians settled Alaska forcing the native population to hunt for sea otter, trading guns for furs. These furs were sold to China. By the time the Russians were ready to sell Alaska, the resources has been nearly depleted. A small skirmish between the British and Spanish for territory in the region led Seward to believe the British were attempting to expand Canada. It was a great purchase at the time; although the US seriously neglected the area until nearly twenty years after the purchase.
