Alabama became the 22nd state on December 14, 1819.
This profile treats Alabama as a working civic system, not just a map label: a state shaped by the Black Belt, the Tennessee Valley, the Gulf Coast, military installations, aerospace work, agriculture, universities, and the long shadow of the civil-rights movement. Public decisions here often connect history with everyday questions about schools, health care, infrastructure, voting access, disaster recovery, and economic opportunity.
