On October 1867, the territory of Alaska repeated a Friday to redraw the International date line. And the time zone in Alaska chanced instantly from UTC+12, +13, +14, and +15 to UTC-12, -11, -10, and -9

Graphics at 7:46 don't match the narration, and for good reason. The graphics got it wrong.

Zooming to the right to show Russia when it is land mass to the left of Alaska was a strange editorial choice. So weird to hear about Seward in this context, as I know him from the violent beating he took the night of the Lincoln assassination, where he was saved by his thin body structure, making it too difficult to stab him effectively, as he was just too thin.
