Seward's folly in more ways than 1- Russo-US war over Alaska ?

[Melvin Loh]

Is there any way, before Russia sold Alaska to the US, that the 2 could've ended up in war over that territory ?

Well, if the Russians discover all that gold you *could* conceivably see a three-way scramble for it (US, UK, Russia).

 

[The Vulture]

Can see diplomatic squabbling, but a war seems fairly unlikely.

Strongly doubt it. Both American and Russian military presence on the West Coast is equal - that being minimal.
