Alabama is a state located in the Southern United States. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. The twenty-second state admitted to the Union, Alabama seceded from the union in 1861 to become part of the Confederate States of America.

Alabama in Southern VictoryEdit

Alabama's Sloss Steel Foundry was important to Confederacy's efforts during the Great War.[1]

After the C.S. lost the Great War, Alabama became a firmly Freedom state, although its faith waivered when President Wade Hampton V was assassinated in Birmingham in 1922.[2] Indeed, thanks to the efforts of Party leaders such as Jefferson Pinkard, that in 1933, a group of Freedom Party Stalwarts actually attacked a Whig rally for their candidate, Samuel Longstreet with the tacit approval of law enforcement.[3] It also became a center of an ongoing Negro rebellion in the period immediately following Jake Featherston's inaugaration as President in 1934.[4]

During the Second Great War, Alabama was again an industrial center key to the C.S. war effort, specifically Birmingham and Huntsville.[5]

After Georgia fell to United States General Irving Morrell, his advance turned to Alabama. Huntsville fell in mid 1944. C.S. General George Patton had hoped to make Birmingham his last stand, but after continual aerial bombing by the U.S and the threatened use of a Superbomb, he realized the futility of his action, and surrendered.[6]

Armstrong Grimes was stationed in Alabama after the war. The Peace Bowl was held in Alabama.[7]

TriviaEdit

Alabama became a "dry" state, prohibiting the sale of alcohol in the years before the Great War.[8]
