Alabama's territorial and early statehood years represent a crucial formative period in its past-a time in which the state both literally and figuratively took shape. This session explores how Alabama transitioned from a rugged frontier to a vital part of the American union in under 25 years. Charismatic leaders, pivotal wars, political rivalries, and dramatic change take center stage in this fascinating glimpse into the state's early days.
