Called Sewards Folly, the purchase of Alaska from Russia was also condemed as Johnson's Icebox after Andrew Johnson the US President at the time of aquisition. After the Louisana Purchase this US purchace was the finest Blue Light Special ever offered without war in the balance. This was not the spoils of war or the theft via power, or any act of chicanery. This was commerce and can be compared to buying the Hope Diamond for zilch at a Dollar Store.
