The phrase "who bought it for the US" likely refers to the purchase of Alaska, which was bought from Russia in 1867 for $7.2 million. The transaction was orchestrated by U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward, who believed it would expand U.S. territory and resources. This acquisition is often referred to as "Seward's Folly" due to initial skepticism about its value.
