Alabama Quick Facts
Alabama - The Heart of Dixie
In 1798, Alabama was part of the Mississippi Territory but settlement didn't pick up until after the end of the Creek War in 1814. The Alabama Territory was created in 1817 and became the 22nd state in 1819.
During the Civil War, Alabama joined the Confederate States of America. Its city of Montgomery was the first capital of the Confederate States in 1861. Alabama was readmitted to the Union in 1868.
Historically, Alabama's economy was based on agriculture. It is much more diversified today. Although agriculture still plays a role, the state has added industrial elements, such as aerospace and electronics products, paper, lumber and wood products. Most significant was the creation of a new automotive industry. Alabama is now second in the country in auto manufacturing behind Michigan. Some estimates say it is close to beating Detroit and may do so in 2009.
In recent years, Alabama has earned some recognition. It has been named as one of the least costly states in which to do business, been recognized for job creation, and for having the 5th overall best business climate, among other achievements.

3. The relative benefits of a consolidation loan may vary over time and will depend on individual circumstances. The longer the property and loan at a new lower rate and term is kept, the more interest savings can be realized when compared to your current situation. The repayment period of a mortgage loan can generally be shortened when additional funds above scheduled monthly mortgage payments are consistently paid and applied to reduce the loan balance.
