There's a local news segment around locally with a catch phrase "Truly Alabama". Whenever some creek or a gazebo catches some newscaster's fancy, there's a segment called "Truly Alabama" about it.
I've never seen anyone stop putting down Alabama long enough to consider an acceptable and non-racist history of Alabama. I'd blame Governor George Wallace alone. I'm studied in a singular Alabama History course and expanding from there. As I list a few things, please think of how these can be seen as Universal, affirming principles, and long lasting history.
In 1810 the Georgia Territory was split into Alabama considering this gives the Southern States more power in the Senate. Nearly all towns and cities have a namesake equivalent in England; Montgomery, Scottsboro, Birmingham. Birmingham was a boomtown after the Civil War from a few steel mills that were not destroyed by the Union. Mobile was a far-flung port taken from the Spanish.
Andrew Jackson was a very sympathetic President specifically mentioning the border Integrity of Alabama during Indian Removal. However, I did not hear any real mention of Scotsmen themselves until then. Scotland however, is where the Confederate forces came up with the Blood Stained Banner, or the 2nd Confederate flag, becoming official after the death of Scotsman Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. This movie Birth of a Nation came out almost side-by-side with the adoption of the Alabama flag. The early 1900's also saw the adoption of the current Alabama constitution chaired by John Knox as would be the ancient Scottish convention.
Starting at 2:32:41 we can see a popular and widely accepted belief about the meaning of the Dixie flag from people in this timeperiod, which is important. " Brethren, this flag bears the red stain of the life of a Southern woman, a priceless sacrifice on the altar of an outraged civilization. Here I raise the ancient symbol of an unconquered race of men, the fiery cross of old Scotland's hills... I quench its flames in the sweetest blood that ever stained the sands of Time!"
Also at the same time as our current flag, our current constitution, is our current Civil War memorial on the Capitol, captioned roughly 'The Knightliest of the Knightly race who , by the lamps of old, have singed chivalry in hearts of gold'. I think we, the Anglo Saxon settlers may have already viewed the new Black immigrant as "unfaithful" or "unwelcome" but I thoroughly don't understand the every-man's Methodist George Wallace agenda. I never actually heard George Wallace talk down the Black Citizen, however, I'm still with the popular media in not really feeling like he was trying on that Civil War centennial. I heard that 1,100,000 was the size of those men who served in the Confederate Army. If there were 2.5 million free Southern White men eligible, the 250,000 of Alabama would be above average, according to the memorial at 125,000 in service.
Alabama revenue at that time was one-third Slave Property Taxes. Current Governors tend to playfully swear off 'moving that train backward, it always goes forward'. Any thoughts? Thanks.
