| To commemorate Alabama’s experiences related to the Creek War, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement, Alabama Heritage has joined with the Summersell Center for Study of the South, the University of Alabama Department of History, and the Alabama Tourism Department to create this special department. Quarter by quarter we will take you to the corresponding seasons 200, 150, and 50 years ago—sometimes describing the most pivotal events, sometimes describing daily life, but always illuminating a world in flux. We will wait for the ultimate outcomes as our forebears did—over time. |
