Correct answer: The Russian Empire

Secretary of State William H. Seward negotiated the purchase of Alaska from the Russian Empire for 7.2 million dollars. At first, critics labeled the deal "Seward's Folly," believing the land was nothing but a useless frozen wasteland, unaware of its massive gold and oil reserves.
