More information about the video content bellow:
1. Alabama became the 22nd state on December 14, 1819. On January 11, 1861 Alabama becomes the fourth state to secede from the Union. Just after Alabama became the fourth state to officially cede from the Union in January 1861, it formally kicked off the Civil War.
2. The state was indirectly named after a southern Native American tribe that took up residence in central Alabama in the 1500s. Historical accounts have referred to the group as the Alibamo, Alibamu, and Alabamon, among others, but it was the spelling of a river named in their honor that stuck. One Choctaw scholar believes the word is a compound that means “thicket clearers”: Alba means mass of vegetation, while amo is to clear something up.
3. On January 28, 1846 Montgomery was selected as capital of Alabama. The world's first Electric Trolley System, the Montgomery's Lightning Route, was introduced in Montgomery in 1886. Montgomery is the capital and the birthplace of the Confederate States of America.
4. Mt. Nebo Baptist Church Cemetery, located in Clarke County, includes several tombstones featuring death masks that were cast from the people whose graves they mark.
5. In the town of Oak Grove, on November 30, 1954, Ann Hodges was hit by a meteorite while napping on her couch. Surprisingly, Ann survived and is the only confirmed person in history to have been hit by a meteorite.
6. In 1836, Alabama was the first U.S. state to declare Christmas a legal holiday.
7. The efficacy of submarines in war was the subject of some debate before one built in Mobile put the matter to rest. The Confederate-operated H.L. Hunley torpedoed the Union’s USS Housatonic in February 1864, the first time in history a submersible had successfully downed an enemy ship.
