William H. Seward (1801-1872) was a Republican politician, the 12th governor of New York and US Secretary of State under Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. He is known for promoting the US purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867, which at the time was called "Seward's Folly."
Yes, he was against it.
No. When John Wilkes Booth was murdering Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865, his accomplice Lewis Powell (alias Payne or Paine) was sent to murder Seward. Seward had been in a carriage accident a few weeks before broken his jaw, so he had a metal brace on it to heal. When Powell broke into Seward's home and went to kill the bed-ridden Seward, the brace prevented Powell from striking any major veins. So, even though Seward was stabbed, he wasn't killed. Seward died seven years later, on October 10, 1872.
He was William Seward from New York. Lincoln made him Secretary of State and he continued in the office under President Andrew Johnson. Skeptics referred to Alaska as Seward's folly and Seward's icebox.
