Are you asking for a short list or concise essay? Anything more might
require a bit more research...

Alaska and Louisiana purchase seem the "same" in that they were
attacked when done and later in history turned out to have been
brilliant moves and important to the nation's history.

I'd like citations to authors who have commented on and or written
about this similarity.
