No, Alaska was not purchased in 1850. It was acquired from Russia by the United States in 1867 for $7.2 million, a transaction often referred to as "Seward's Folly," named after then-Secretary of State William H. Seward. The purchase was finalized on October 18, 1867, and Alaska became a U.S. territory in 1912 before achieving statehood in 1959.
