Alabama is a southern state squished between Mississippi and Georgia. There are a few nicknames for Alabama, such as: Yellow Hammer State, Heart of Dixie, and the Cotton State. It's motto is "Audemus jura nostra defendere," which is Latin for "We dare defend our rights."
The largest city (by land area) in Alabama is Huntsville, and the largest Metropolitan statistical area is the greater Birmingham area. Alabama was admitted into the union on December 14, 1819, it was the twenty second state to enter the union.
Alabama is considered to be an illiterate state, filled to the brim with incest and racist rednecks carrying guns. As you've probably already noticed, Alabama is a state with people in it. Like, real people. People that make decisions for them selves and their families. But, not every person in Alabama is the same.
Alabama does not have the best education system, but I've heard their working on it. Alabama is full of a lot of old people (I'm serious, I think the water is magic down there) and they still carry the same beliefs they were raised with. So yeah, the old people are a pretty racist so they raised their kids with severely biased opinions. But the generation of young people now aren't that bad, sure there are plenty of people with their own differing opinions, but that's their opinions not the whole population of the state.
Alabama is a state, just like any other state. It may not sound as exciting as California or New York. But, it's still pretty cool.
