When the United States bought Alaska from Russia in 1867 for millions of dollars, people called it 'Seward's Folly'.
Just think.
The United States bought Alaska from Russia.
Russia!
Without that purchase, Alaska would have been part of the Soviet Union in the Cold War!
For a mere 7.2 million dollars in 1867 money, we avoided having Soviet armies in North America!
Maybe we should call it 'Seward's Foresight' now?
That was a big one!
God loves you!
