As an Alabamian native, I'm very pleased that this video wasn't just "haha look at these toothless, racist, hicks." I grew up about an hour from Birmingham in a small city. Most people in my city are middle class working people, but I do see the effects of poverty when from time to time. I truly love this state, and I can't think of calling anywhere else my home, even though I have lived other places. I hold it very close to my heart. I appreciate you going through the history of our state. Much of which I learned in Elementary history class, but never thought anyone would care about it. So it was a nice surprise to stumble across this video. Also, I really like the flag. It's simple, It's not ugly, and it's not just a blue background with a patch on it. Even if some people think it alludes to the confederacy, it's a pretty good flag by US state standards.

As a black guy (21 y/o UAB student) who grew up here, AL really is such a unique experience, as it is often the butt of jokes, but also for me, has been a great place to grow up in. As a person who grew up 15 minutes from Mobile Bay, I myself grew up with a coastal mindset more so than “country”. I’d say the coast definitely is like country-pop music vs Birmingham where I go to school, which is baby Atlanta in a way, a lot of super wealthy and super poor people. You really have to experience it for yourself to see all of the great things that are here, and the surprisingly changing mindset out of the youth, despite its still persistent (taught) ignorance that older people hold. Luckily, I grew up in a very loving, welcoming hometown, Satsuma, which despite being a serverly outnumbered minority, I really didn’t experience any racial issues like one might think, the complete opposite really, but that’s just my experience. It’s a slower state, and not really the most fun for young adults, but as a kid, and an adult, you kind of appreciate the easy-going vibe of the state, so I’d say give it a visit, though, I still do plan to move away.

Fun fact: It’s funny you mention B’ham as a mini-Atl. Actually, due to an already well-established railroad system, more centralized location in the region, and better accessibility to waterways, Birmingham was the OG Atlanta at one time being the [inland] industrial leader for the southern states. What shifted, as I understand, in the 50s-70s, the major growth moved to and prioritized Atlanta due to Birmingham (and Montgomery) being the epicenter of the Civil Rights Movement and having (rightfully) gained a bad reputation or image across the country due to the, local and state institutions, local municipalities, and the state government’s handling of integration (among other obvious racial issues).

I grew up in mobile county (mainly Theodore and Grand Bay) and I love the state of Alabama. The state takes so much grief and hate which isn’t really true. I did think one thing that is important to note is the “poverty rate”. National poverty rate is based off what the median annual income is in the US. While people in Alabama make less money things are also cheaper and we know how to live off the land. I live in central florida now for work and make nearly 70k a year and it’s barely enough for just me and my wife to get by, while my dad back home makes a little over 50k a year and supports my mom and 3 siblings and they live in a 3bd/2bath house on an acre and a half of land with little to know money issues. It’s one of the things I miss about my home.

I am just into the first few minutes of this presentation but very impressed by your intro, Carter!! I am an Alabama native (I moved away years ago but spent my formative years).

Back in the mid 90's I had the opportunity to visit Alabama for two Thanksgivings. We started from California, and I remember never seeing a moon as full as the moon I saw driving through in New Mexico. I would doze off in Texas and wake up with us still driving thru Texas. The first year I went, we got stuck on a very icy 10 freeway for hours due to an accident, and the next trip missed a tornado crossing the 10 freeway by minutes in Mississippi. The family home of my ex was located in a rural part of Marengo County, AL. We went to a Walmart in Linden. Since their land was in a rural area, the roads were scary dark at night, and they even had a family cemetery. I also saw red clay earth for the first time which was cool. It was such a beautiful place and the air was so clean!!!Whenever we drove on the roads during the day, everyone would honk and wave, which I found so fascinating. People in California aren't really the friendly sort, so I wasn't used to that. I asked my ex, "Why are people waving at us?" 😂😂😂 Those were really some good times, though. Now that I'm nearing retirement age, I've started to consider Alabama as a future retirement home and recently looked at some homes in Huntsville. I do have concerns as I know nothing of the South. My grandma and grandpa, both from Arkansas, met in California and never went back. I know nothing about the South nor sundown towns, so I am unsure if I can respectfully navigate my way without upsetting some folks. Some people say the South is not that bad anymore. Others seem to beg to differ.

As a native Alabamian this video makes me so proud, thank you Carter!!

A short list of things to look at when researching Maine: - The proportion of homes that sit vacant (second homes) - Population density differences between Portland area and the rest of the state - The weird privately-owned "state" parks like Baxter State Park - Penobscot Narrows Bridge - The Clean Water Act and the Androscoggin River - Maine's origin in the Missouri Compromise (and earlier status as a colony of a colony) - The Bay of Fundy's incredible tides - Plans for massive off-shore wind turbines - LL Bean - The Great Kennebec Whatever Race - The 100-mile Wilderness Also, pronunciation of place names is going to be an absolute nightmare. You will need to find a native Mainer to talk to.

One thing to note about the historian drawing connections of the Alabama flag to the confederate flag: His main project as a historian was to try to write Alabama's first comprehensive history book. He did remarkably well considering he was initially a hobby historian, but on a project like that, he would be trying to make good through threads to make a more comprehensible story. It'd be a bit weird for it to be based off the battle flag, to be honest, since it was adopted well past reconstruction and Mississippi's old flag, which was more blatant, was adopted a year prior.

We and it's land is very unique, to the point we could easily be self-sustaining. With that being said, I'm grateful that the rest of the country does not hold us in the highest regard. Secondly, we are fortunate that we don't suffer from all of the social and political nonsense like much of the country; yet at times, we are not without conflict. We don't riot, have mass shootings, burn down our cities, rob our businesses like black Friday is every day nor protest with impunity. For the most part, we all get along. Thirdly, we have many beautiful secrets that we hold close and care not to share. So, if you want to visit, please come and enjoy. All that we ask is that you leave, and when you do, leave it better than you found it. We've got this figured out, and have for years, no matter the diverse cultural backgrounds. We don't need to be told otherwise. Come see us.

Alabama may not have the best reputation, but it's still home. Living in a nice suburb like Hoover probably helps.

Huntsville was also chosen for its climate, similar to Bavaria. There were also a significant number of German immigrants in North Alabama. Cullman was a German town. It was built on a grid like some European cities. Octoberfest is becoming a large festival.
