Alabama History
|
 Known as the Heart of
Dixie, Alabama became the 22nd state in 1819. The name Alabama
is derived from an Indian word meaning "thicket clearers."
Alabama has been at the center of many American battles--between
white settlers and Native Americans, and between the North and
South in the Civil War. The state also is home to the first of
three Space Camps in the United States. These camps let kids
experience what it would be like to be in outer space. The
capital is Montgomery, and state flower is the camellia. |
