Alabama

Economically dependent on cotton and the slave labor that produced it, Alabama was the fourth Southern state to secede from the Union , in January 1861. The Confederate States of America organized in Montgomery and Jefferson Davis was inaugurated as its president there. The 1955-56 bus boycotts in Montgomery , sparked by Rosa Parks' courageous stand against discrimination on public transportation and led by Martin Luther King, Jr., was a seminal event in the movement.
Today the state has faced its past and proudly established numerous historic sites, monuments, and museums that honor the role of its African American citizens in the struggle for equality. Geographically, Alabama runs the gamut from the Appalachian Mountains in its northeast corner to the white-sand beaches along the Gulf of Mexico in the south. In the northern part of the state, visitors will find a region laced with rivers, lakes, and underground caverns. To the city's west is Tuscaloosa , home to the University of Alabama and its Crimson Tide football team. The state capital of Montgomery , south of Birmingham , is a city of compelling historical contrasts. There's more civil rights and Civil War history to be found in nearby Selma . The annual spring pilgrimages (public tours) of gracious antebellum homes in Selma, Eufaula, and other Alabama towns also give our Alabama car transport employees an insight of the South's storied past. The southernmost part of the state borders Florida and the Gulf of Mexico .
