The correct answer is B. Gold
William Seward, Secretary of State during the mid 19th century, decided to buy Alaska from Russia. Many Congressmen thought this was a terrible idea and dubbed this purchase "Seward's folly." Congress thought this was a waste of money and time, as Alaska was not known for having any great resources. However, the opinion of everyone changed when gold was discovered in Alaska in 1898.
Story time! Ok here is the reason. It was hurting America rather than its intended targets, Britain and France. In March 1809, Congress repealed the Embargo Act of 1807. Jefferson signed the repeal shortly before he left office. The Embargo Act was replaced by the Non-Intercourse Act, which prohibited trade with only Britain and France.
