<u>Answer:</u>

The purchase led to a gold strike and the US seal skin industry

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alaska was a Russian colony which was later bought by the United States back in 1867 at a price of $7.2 million and later made into a state in 1959.

The Secretary of State William Seward, who basically purchased Alaska was mocked as people termed Alaska as a wasteland.

However, after a few years, a huge gold vein was discovered in Alaska which later led to a gold strike and the US seal skin industry.
