a goal of william h. seward was to:
a. acquire north american territory through use of military force.
b. decrease chances for involvement with foreign conflicts.
c. purchase alaska from russia.
d. reduce the size and power of the federal government.

Explanation:

William H. Seward was known for negotiating the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867 (the "Seward's Folly" at the time). Option A is incorrect as his goal wasn't acquiring territory via military force. Option B doesn't align with his actions (he was involved in foreign affairs like the Alaska purchase). Option D is opposite to his political stance (he supported a strong federal government).

Answer:

C. purchase Alaska from Russia.
