America thought the price of the land was too high.

At the time, critics thought Seward was crazy and called the deal "Seward's folly."

The word “folly” means the result of a foolish action, senseless behavior or enterprise.

Major discoveries of gold were made there in the 1880s and 1890s.

Petroleum is Alaska's richest mineral resource.
