How Was Alaska Sold Cheaply?

Get ready for the biggest bargain in history! Russia had a GIANT,
icy land called Alaska, and guess what? They sold it to the
United States for just $7.2 million! That’s like buying a whole
country for the price of a few fancy video games! When this
happened in 1867, everyone back east thought America was nuts for
buying frozen wilderness—they even called it 'Seward's Folly!'
Ha! Join Mira and Finn as they zoom back in time to uncover the
secret deal that made America bigger. Wait until you hear what
they found there later: glittering GOLD and massive rivers of
OIL! You won't believe how much that tiny purchase is worth
today! Tune in to see how a silly nickname turned into a
trillion-dollar treasure!
