In OTL, the USA purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire in 1867. But, what if Britain expressed more interest and was able to purchase it from the Russians? How does this affect the formation of the Canadian Confederation and how is British Columbia in particular affected by this? Do they join Canada if it even forms at all where British Alaska exists? I ask because I'm drafting a redux of my CSA victory timeline and one of the effects would be the US most likely not purchasing Alaska, enabling the British to purchase it instead as the Russians didn't particularly care for it by that point.
