the same as it is today, except 60-70 years ago, before there were laws saying you can't get after someone because what they look like (color of thier skin). in some deep pockets of the deep south, bigotry is still strong, but for the most part, i think "sweet home alabama" is more mellow & accepting.

Arkansas had alot of troops to join the confederacy. Not alot happened in Arkansas but if it were not for the Confederacy it would not be a state. It was started by the confederacy. It was a territory before 1860.

The 1960's. It was a very exciting time. Social changes and political upheaval! I would've liked to be a hippie, minus the drugs.

Having grown up in the 70's - I can tell you that American culture was a bit crazy - we were dealing with the Tail-end of Viet Nam, the worst environmental pollution in history and Richard Nixon being impeached for Watergate. At the same time, we were not the most fashionable, it was a time of wide-collar polyester shirts with loud print and corduroy pants - all with tennis shoes! Still, what we lacked in sophistication we more than made up for in fun! Southern Rock was at it's apex (Lynard Skynard, 38 Special, CCR), R&B was a blast with groups like the Commadores and Earth, Wind and Fire, and Disco was beginning to emerge (the BeeGees).  Drugs were primarily psychadelic in nature: LSD, PCP, Heroin - and lots of pill poping. People were promiscuous - AIDS had not made it's official debut yet - so sex was rampant. All in all, the 70's was a crazy, wacked out decade. Still - I feel that it was a much less damaging era than what we face today!

I used to live there from 1980-1984.  I live about 60 miles west of Tuscaloosa now in Columbus, Mississippi.  I go every once and a while to do some shopping, but not that often. I remember the day that Bear Bryant died.  I was in second grade I think, and school let out early because of it.  My mom took me to a department store named Wilson's and bought me a box that had ET and Reece's Pieces in it.  Hell of a memory, huh?!

Not very long. The north was far more industrialized the the agrarian south. What the person above said is true as well.

According to the US Dept of Labor statistics, in 2005 Alabama ranked 11th in the nation in unemployment, with 4 percent of the state unemployed.  (Hawaii was at number 1, with only 2.8 percent unemployed, Mississippi was was in fifty-first place with 7.9(seven point nine) %.)  \n\nIn 2004, it was estimated that Alabama had a population of 4,530,182. So whatever four percent of that is, is approximately the number of citizens that are unemployed in Alabama. (Sorry, not good with math.)
