I dare you to find a valuation for Alaska at 37 Bn – the annual revenue surplus is more than that. It’s natural resources alone are estimated to be worth Trillions

Mexico was actually paid $15 million in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and later $10 million for the Gadsden Purchase

Mexico was also paid $15 million in the treaty of Guadalupe.
This isn’t accurate.

I feal like people forget that France didn’t actually control 99 percent of that Land; they handed America a city and strategic forts along the river, but America still had to take all the rest of that land by force from the natives.
