How much America paid to Russia for Alaska?
America bought it from Russia for $ 7,200,000.
This worked out somewhere about 2 cents per acre.
The deal was negotiated by the American Secratary
of State, Seward. Despite the deal costing less
than 2 cents per acre, it was reffered to as;
"Seward's Folly" or "Seward's Ice-box"!!!
NOTE : I regret my absence for two consecutive days after continuous daily posting for 40 days. Due to inevitable reasons I could not post for previous two days.
