NF Weirdest ACW Author Ever...?

Non-Fiction
This guy John Reeds https://boneyardalaska.com/
cites a private conversation he had with Professor Naske (dead now for a decade)

that the reason for the Seward's Alaska deal was some sort of (double?) payback for a Russian squadron blockading Charleston.


note - yes. there's a thread on that https://civilwartalk.com/threads/russian-naval-help.215002/
HMM, I rather think Queen Victoria's Government might just have had a view about that ! Would give Admiral Milne some excersize with the NA&WI squadron. Could make an interesting (If one sided) war game.
