History[edit]

When you say the English came from Carollina, which Carolina was it? North and South Carolina, or Carolina, Puerto Rico? I suspect the former but still that needs to be clarified, so a correct link can be provided under Carolina. -- Antonio Fantasy World Martin

Carolina was initially a single colony. It was later divided into North and South Carolina. -- Rob C (Alarob) 14:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The history section is copied from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica and shows it. See Dunning School. -- Rjensen 04:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Alabama Cotton[edit]

Alabama is known for it's cotton. They sell the cotton in cotton markets. Farmers makes 2.06 billion dollars. -- Myah Smallwood

Great. Thanks. --Dystopos 22:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Map request[edit]

Map needed

It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality.
Wikipedians in Alabama may be able to help!

It would be helpful to have a map or maps showing the overlapping territorial claims on Alabama in the colonial era. -- Beland 18:32, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found one map showing the evolution of the Mississippi Territory, though illustrations before (early overlapping European claims) and after (disposition of Indian lands) the period shown are still needed. -- Beland 11:01, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alabama History[edit]

Can anyone answer this question for me? People first came to Alabama __________ years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.120.60.7 (talk) 00:06, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reconstruction and New South sections[edit]

These need some work - more happened than this during Reconstruction.

Why did the Klan revive in the 1920's? What were the economic tensions? If it was interested in progressive reform, why was it terrorizing blacks? Why were people in the state receptive to public schools then and not during Reconstruction?--Parkwells 06:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photos[edit]

This article badly needs photos for illustrations so I can look at pretty pictures while trying to wade through it. Thank you. ChildofMidnight a.k.a. "Bubba" (talk) 21:16, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Slave count[edit]

The number of slaves is missing both here and in Alabama in the Civil War. Important to discussing the war. Availability of manpower. And with headcounts leading up to the Civil War, shows the investment that white Alabamians had, and their reasons for choosing the side they did. Student7 (talk) 14:58, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the requested numbers are in the lede, where they are very prominent. "By 1860 African Americans comprised 45 percent of the state's population, estimated in the 1860 Census at 964,201." Rjensen (talk) 11:07, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of Alabama[edit]

Any interest in creating a Timeline of Alabama article? A few other U.S. states have timelines (see Category:Timelines of states of the United States). Here are some sources:

Benson John Lossing, ed. (1905). "United States: Alabama (chronology)". Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History. Vol. 9. Harper & Bros. – via HathiTrust. {{cite book}}: External link in |chapterurl= (help); Unknown parameter |chapterurl= ignored (|chapter-url= suggested) (help)

that is a good idea. Rjensen (talk) 14:52, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology of 'Alabama'[edit]

Should there be something on the etymology of the name 'Alabama'? (See Alabama#Etymology ). Most state history pages have an etymological paragraph or section if it is directly linked to the history of the area. Gilgamesh4 (talk) 10:10, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
