Opponents of the purchase of Alaska referred to it as "Seward's Folly," "Seward's Icebox," and "Frigidia." These names reflected their skepticism about the acquisition, viewing it as a barren and worthless expanse rather than a valuable addition to the United States. The derogatory terms highlighted the controversy and criticism surrounding Secretary of State William H. Seward's push for the purchase in 1867.
