[North America Travelogue] Sweet Home Alabama

✨Alabama is part of the Deep South of the United States. Historically reliant on agriculture, it also shares a long history of slavery and segregation with other Deep South states. Tourism here is not highly developed. Montgomery is the capital of Alabama. Today, the city feels tranquil and peaceful, yet the weight of history remains palpable. The city is relatively compact, perfect for exploring on foot. 🩷Attraction 1: First White House of the Confederacy This served as the presidential residence of the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Later, the Confederate capital moved north to Virginia as the war progressed. 🩷Attraction 2: Freedom Rides Museum Housed in a former bus station, this museum tells the story of the Freedom Riders of the 1960s. The door that was once reserved for Black patrons remains faintly visible, a silent witness to segregation. 🩷Attraction 3: The Legacy Museum & National Memorial for Peace and Justice This powerful site documents the era of segregation, lynching, and the modern system of mass incarceration in the century following the Civil War. It is an essential and deeply moving destination. #Alabama#Montgomery#travelguide#Alabamaguide#Montgomerylife
