Answer:
B. ALASKA
Explanation:
On October 18, 1867, an Imperial Russia flag was lowered at an army base in eastern Alaska, and a U.S. flag was flagged to mark Alaska's transition from Russian to U.S. ownership.
The United States purchased one and a half square miles of wildlife for 4 cents per unit, which later turned out to be one of the smartest transactions in history. Secretary of State <u>William Seward</u> then negotiated the purchase of the territory, which many considered to be a land of snow and ice, and called the transaction a deal called "Seward's follies."
However, the wisdom expressed by investing in snow and ice was reaffirmed when it was discovered that Alaska had vast natural resources.
