Today in 1867, the United States got much larger, since we officially took possession of Alaska. Alaska comprises 17.5% of the US landmass. The sale of Alaska was negotiated by Secretary of State William Seward. It was called "Seward's Folly" by the same kind of brainless politicians who called the Louisiana Purchase the "Great American Desert." This same kind of politician today is commonly known by the sobriquet of "Liberal Democrap."
