From which country did the US acquire Alaska?

The Alaskan border is only 55 miles across the Bering Strait to mainland Russia!

Best think the US ever did

They never would have sold it to the US today. Russia is greedy for all land and what they are doing to bomb surrounding countries, someone should take Putin out!

And ever since they’ve been the best of friends! NOT scary about them only being separated by 55 miles of water though.

It is 2 cents per acre too

Also, they called it Seward's Folly Seward's Folly is a term that refers to Secretary of State William Seward's purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. Because the land was located so far north, it was considered virtually unusable and uninhabitable.
