    Seward's Folly says hi

    Alaska's GDP is $54 Billion. Louisiana's alone is $261 Billion. This doesn't even account for the rest of the purchase. Louisiana Purchase rather easily.
    I would have been happy to make either deal. Never understood why we didn't take/buy the section of Western Canada, BC and the Yukon Territory that connects the lower 48 to Alaska.

    One way to look at it. Another would be the cost of Russian sovereign territory in North America.
    Yes, this is a valid poont. Still, I think we would have got it from Russia at some other point prior to 1917. But we don't deal in hypotheticals even though they are FUN.

    The guy who founded Stanford University might be the greatest real estate hustler
    Leeland Stanford Jr's achievements were significant but Jefferson bought 827,000 sq miles for $15,000,000 .
    Yeah but still

    54-40 or fight!

    I am still in favor of annexing all of Canada except for the Maritimes and the frogs.

    In fun random territorial takes, the only reason why Baja California isn't part of the rest of California is because no one was aware that US forces were successful in taking Baja when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed.

    The Newfies are excellent drinkers. I’d bring those fucks in in a heartbeat. If it wasn’t for some political shenanigans, they’d have joined the USA post WW2.

    Fun loving people. Not quite as big of drunks as the micks
