In 1867, the United States purchased Alaska from Russia, a transaction known as "Seward's Folly" after Secretary of State William H. Seward, who orchestrated the deal. The purchase, finalized on October 18, 1867, expanded U.S. territory significantly and was seen as a strategic move, despite initial public skepticism. The acquisition paved the way for Alaska's eventual statehood and its rich Natural Resources.
