Best Answer

The European history of Alabama dates back to Spanish explorers in 1519. With that said, it's clear that the state has histories that can fill volumes of information. Certainly Alabama's history with regards to the US Civil War is important. It became in the antebellum days a heavily populated slave plantation state. It sought to retain its social and economic status by joining the Confederacy. Battles in the Civil War were fought in Alabama and its City of Mobile became an important Southern port and ship building facility.
Happily slavery was eliminated, however, the state has racial issues to deal with in modern times.
