It is not the intention of this website to present the South as defined by the Civil War, but to describe ten states that are parts of the South. The Civil War played a huge part in the history of all the southern states and cannot be ignored when discussing the South, but here our objective is to show interesting things in the South that may or may not include Civil War activity. The states covered by this site are shown in the drop down menu in the left column.
Pensacola, Florida/ Purdue Hill, Alabama

Click on the state of your choice and learn some very interesting things, such as:

Marshall, Texas has the distinction of being the capital of another state, other than its own home state. During the Civil War, due to civil unrest, the state government of Missouri moved its operation to Marshall, Texas.

Mardi Gras originated in Mobile, Alabama.

Burnet, Texas/ Pensacola Beach, Florida.

Murfreesboro, Arkansas is the only city in the US that has a state-owned diamond mine that is open to the public.

Pensacola, Florida was the first European settlement in the New World in 1559. The settlement was destroyed 5 times before surviving in its current location.

The first gold nugget found in the US was in North Carolina. It weighed 17 pounds!
