Alabama’s shift from cotton heartland to diversified industry
A National Geographic outline traces Alabama’s 19th and 20th century transformation from a cotton driven, plantation society to a diversified economy. It highlights Birmingham as the "Pittsburgh of the South," the migration westward, early rail and river transport, the rise of mills and factories, and the shift toward education and electric power as key drivers of growth beyond cotton. It notes the wartime disruption, the postwar push toward self sufficiency, and the accelerating move toward industry and improved infrastructure.
