The part of Florida under Alabama might as well be Alabama's. It's more like lower Alabama than it is Florida. As someone who grew up in that part of Florida and has also lived in Orlando and visited other parts of the state I can attest that that part of the Panhandle isn't like the rest of the state and is more like Alabama.
Well tallman, you said the part of Florida under Alabama might as well be lower Alabama, uh oh we have another controversy, we'll call it lower Alabama or LA, problem is Las angelos California ppl might have a problem with that lol
That "little" patch of land on the Gulf border for Alabama is at least 50 miles long. There are 53 miles of I-10 in Alabama, so I use that as my estimate, and I'm sure Mobile is a great asset to the state.
It's called that because The Tennessee Valley is the drainage basin of the Tennessee River and is largely within the U.S. state of Tennessee. It stretches from Southwest Kentucky to north Georgia and from Northeast Mississippi to the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. The border of the valley is known as the Tennessee Valley Divide.
Another major reason to have the hangey down part of Alabama is that the river system that drains most of Alabama and parts of Georgia and Mississippi flows into Mobile Bay. Riverboats and barges do not and did not have to cross a state line to get to the port with the export and import cargos.
Well put. The Mobile-Tensaw estuary (not Al's nuts) provides access to a river network covering the state. Not as big as New Orleans and the Mississippi, but big.
Watching this while sitting on the beach 1/2 mile from the fort that we built to tell Spain to "come get it." Fort Morgan is showing her age, but she's still an intimidating structure.
Mobile, AL And Mississippi has almost as small a bit of Gulf coast, with Biloxi & Gulfport. Cause, hey! - Nobody wants to be land-locked, y'know? Songs brought to mind by these: "Stuck Inside of Mobile" (with the Memphis Blues Again) by Bob Dylan. Album: _Blonde on Blonde_ "Biloxi" by the late, great Jesse Winchester. (Ian Matthews has a wonderful recording of it, too. Album: _Some Days You Eat the Bear, Some Days the Bear Eats You_ ) Fred
That is fun facts. I know I should be knowing this from history class, but give me a break! I've been out of school like for 25 years now, and this is a great refresher.
Baldwin County is one of the highest income producing counties in the state of Alabama, with beautiful beaches and access to the port of Mobile. And a painful 10% sales tax.
My Ancestors use to live their peacefully, until the boats showed up. Most were relocated to Oklahoma. Went down hill ever since. They called it progress.
So you live in Clarke County. A poor ass county with very little commerce and even worse internet coverage. I'm from Washington County, and lived in Clarke for a decade and can say that they hold beautiful lands, but the townships are poor and dying. Sure wish Alabama would pull its head from it's ass and build a better internet infrastructure. It would help Alabamians get small businesses off the ground, and provide better education for its youth.
Thanks for your work work. I live on Dauphin Island AL established by the French who had occupied Canada and thought drawing a line to the Gulf and calling it theirs would teach England not to think it could have the whole continent of North America. Pretty amazing egos, those European kings with wooden boats pushed by the wind, and the guys and gals who carried out their wishes I feel sure would consider us wimps.
Alabama could have had even more coastline if it took the pleads from the inhabitants of the Florida panhandle to join Alabama seriously and agreed to pay Florida for the area. Instead the Alabama balked at the proposal due to the lack of will to finance the purchase. The building of the Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad, completed in 1883, finally linked the Panhandle solidly with the rest of Florida, and the annexation proposal gradually lost support.
I understand Florida, including the panhandle, belonging to Spain, but I never understood why, when Florida become U.S. territory, why Congress didn't say, if it's south of Alabama, it should be Alabama.
I kind of understand your point because technically the USA had troops inside of the florida panhandle before Spain sold it, which is something the video doesn't show, so technically the USA owned Florida when this Alabama situation happened, or at the least occupied it.
Alabama already had the first-class port and was already a state with its current borders. If there were specific resources they wanted in the area, the state's legislators probably would have made it happen.
It quite literally doesn’t. “We just took it” stuck into the end of the video is an awful explanation lol... Who is we? The collective state did not wake up one morning, march down to a beach in Florida, point at the ground and say “this is ours now!” When was it decided? Why? How? The video explains the goddamn Louisiana purchase, formation of Florida, and at the end just says, then Alabama came along and took the shoreline because “we” wanted it.
CableReadyTechnoSIut He does quite literally say it. It used to be part of France's land, which we just took with the purchase of the Louisiana Territory. Since that used to be part of the land France colonized, the US wanted it. And took it. Had nothing to do with any kind of port city, though that is a benefit.
Alabama has tried to buy the part of the panhandle south of Alabama that would give it a longer coastline. Florida refused each time. The two did come close in 1869, but Florida backed out.
@@kenperkins7921 that's the way I have heard it told as well. The only reason Alabama doesn't own that portion of the panhandle is because they declined it.
Mobile Alabama here, And I’ll say this us as a gulfcoast respect one another because during tropical storms and hurricanes we’re all in this together not only florida, but Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas we’re all apart of the gulfcoast as a whole so we never really cared about the pan handle, being apart of us we don’t mind it lol because hell to be honest also the state Mississippi and the state of Alabama looks exactly like we’re standing back to back their shape is almost identical. Each city and state respects one another from us having great seafood here in the gulfcoast, beaches in bama, Biloxi and p cola, to New Orleans and mobile having Mardi Gras and both New Orleans and mobile being French cities because mobile was the capital of Louisiana
Yes, before the treaty of 1819 with Spain, the United States annexed the Mobile District, an area from the Pearl River in Mississippi to the Perdido River in Alabama, by military force with no resistance from Spain. ... So Alabama didn't get that pretty coastal land known as the Florida Panhandle.Mar 18, 2015
A while back, a show on History Channel called "How the States Got Their Shapes" said that Alabama and Mississippi both have that notch because when those state lines were being drawn, they wanted to give both states access to the gulf, so they gave both states that notch. I am going to research to verify which is correct. Either way, it's interesting.
you missed so much history florida tried to sell the panhandle multiple times even during the 20th century; i know i descend from confederates, fam been here since 1860s in the panhandle, and folks originally from pike county AL from Blountstown Carolina; not to mention West Florida Republic witht he bonnie Blue flag babbbby!
The video only explains that the US wanted that patch of land leading up to the Perdido River, so they took it. It doesn't really address that maybe Alabama didn't want to be a landlocked state when it was formed, or that it wanted to have access to coastal trade.
Back then Australia, Canada, etc. were part of one of the empires where the sun never sets. Most nations with 18th century colonies still own bits of land outside of the continent of Europe.
That's like the Bootheel of Missouri, that sticks down into Arkansas. A long time ago the Bootheel didn't exist, but was just part of Arkansas. A wealthy powerful politician who lived in that part of Arkansas decided he wanted to live in Missouri because he though Missouri would be a powerful state because of the how many big rivers all met in MO. So, this politician used his power with Congress to have the state line redrawn, including the Bootheel for Missouri, thus making him and his district in Missouri.
I think a better explanation would have been “why were the state borders defined that way”. This video didn’t really explain much. The most likely answer is that when they formed the states, some deals went through and Alabama just made sure they would have coastal access for the sake of trading.
Tom Hoffman That little stretch of land proved to be very valuable with the port of Mobile, who built US warships through as late as ww2, what the video didn't ell you is that people of Mobile and in this stretch of land wanted to be part of the US because of the taxes the Spanish were imposing on them. Same with Florida which is why they kept fighting the Spanish despite losing constantly. Essentially Spain lost theses lands because they could not afford to sustain and tax them. Pretty much the same thing with Central and South America.
My math teacher is from Alabama she has the most stereotypical southern accent that you could imagine is so funny when she says y’all better bla bla bla
@floorsin Little harsh there, bro. I mean, Bobby Lee handed over his sword at Appomattox courthouse 150 years ago and a bit. It might be almost time to *think about* maybe starting to get over it, eh?
@ Random Dog - Lucky you. You get to learn math and perhaps some social development skills too. I'll bet that teacher from Alabama is really nice and most importantly - respectful to her students !
Random Dog:There is no such thing as a stereotypical southern accent.There are eleven different southern accents.Even south Alabama and north Alabama have different accents.If your teacher is from Alabama you will at least learn something better than common core.
No, it'd not complicated. The people there had a choice of joining Alabama or drowning themselves in the Gulf of Mexico. They chose drowning and the Alabamians share cropped the land.
We were taught as kids those little leg looking things near Mobile & FL state line, look like “pony tails” or a profile of George Washington, hence the ponytails.
This video is incomplete. By the end of the video, all that is explained is why America owns the land that is now AL's costal panhandle. It should've explained why that land was included in the state of AL when it was formed.
Although if ya Google states that border Alabama, most links will omit Florida. When clearly The Northwest Towne of Pensacola Florida, is a stones throw away.
No, Louisiana should have the gulf coast up to the Perdido/Florida state line. Neither Alabama nor Mississippi reached the gulf as the “Mississippi Territory”. Original Louisiana included Biloxi, Gulfport, and of course Mobile.
The part of Florida under Alabama might as well be Alabama's. It's more like lower Alabama than it is Florida. As someone who grew up in that part of Florida and has also lived in Orlando and visited other parts of the state I can attest that that part of the Panhandle isn't like the rest of the state and is more like Alabama.
tallman11282 agreed
But then Florida would no longer look like United Statesia's Boomerang, and that would make me super sad. T_T
Tallman,I live in Mobile and visit Pcola alot and you're exactly right
Thank God
Well tallman, you said the part of Florida under Alabama might as well be lower Alabama, uh oh we have another controversy, we'll call it lower Alabama or LA, problem is Las angelos California ppl might have a problem with that lol
"We basically just wanted it, so we took it."
Basically the origin story of all national borders everywhere.
Yep
I live in mobile it's one of the largest ports in the country.
blackmagix100 say hello to Prichard for me
Houston has a bigger port! :D
prichard is the reason downtown mobile will never grow into anything more then it already is.
So does Sledge from the Pacific....or did.
I live in Northampton, a small town of 200,000 in the centre of England, one of the farthest areas from the coast in the UK.
Culturally the Florida panhandle is lower Alabama. A name people from there use.
Great video. Love the sense of humor. Awesome explanation too.
This was insanely clear and honestly educational to a degree you don't see on yt much anymore
That "little" patch of land on the Gulf border for Alabama is at least 50 miles long. There are 53 miles of I-10 in Alabama, so I use that as my estimate, and I'm sure Mobile is a great asset to the state.
Fascinating bit of history.
I live in Huntsville Alabama. They call it “The Tennessee valley” feel like it should be called “the Alabama valley “
It's called that because The Tennessee Valley is the drainage basin of the Tennessee River and is largely within the U.S. state of Tennessee. It stretches from Southwest Kentucky to north Georgia and from Northeast Mississippi to the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. The border of the valley is known as the Tennessee Valley Divide.
SOA Spitfire thanks
Yep
The old "because I say so and I have a gun" reason.
I live on that "little foot" of Alabama. Lol thanks for explaining my city! thanks to that, We have an awesome beach here in Alabama!
Another major reason to have the hangey down part of Alabama is that the river system that drains most of Alabama and parts of Georgia and Mississippi flows into Mobile Bay. Riverboats and barges do not and did not have to cross a state line to get to the port with the export and import cargos.
Byron Cawthon the Mississippi flow in Louisiana
Well put. The Mobile-Tensaw estuary (not Al's nuts) provides access to a river network covering the state. Not as big as New Orleans and the Mississippi, but big.
We should combine Georgia and Alabama together. Just like in the good old days before the revolution.
I'm from the Netherlands and this was my most educative moment of the day. FML.
I live in the "boot" of Alabama... it's pretty...
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the West Florida, that small area in the panhandle that was an independent country for a short while
From Baton Rouge all the way to Mobile. It’s why Louisiana has a region called The Florida Parishes.
Haven't watched yet, but I'm going to say it had something to do with the Louisiana Purchase.
Watching this while sitting on the beach 1/2 mile from the fort that we built to tell Spain to "come get it." Fort Morgan is showing her age, but she's still an intimidating structure.
Can see why Spain said, Nevermind.
Mobile, AL
And Mississippi has almost as small a bit of Gulf coast, with Biloxi & Gulfport.
Cause, hey! - Nobody wants to be land-locked, y'know?
Songs brought to mind by these:
"Stuck Inside of Mobile" (with the Memphis Blues Again) by Bob Dylan. Album: _Blonde on Blonde_

This here is some quality content, y'all. Thanks for the well-presented, totally NOT DRY history lesson.
Then you have LOUSEIANA which is the Spitting image of a modern day toilet! LOL
I live in Mobile and we have 5 flags on the emblem; England, France, Spain, the US and the Confederacy
Anything on I-10 might as well be south Georgia/South Alabama..
Louisiana/Florida has more claim than anyone else.
I mean that little bit looks like the perfect place to build a port.
I wanted to see Alabama and Florida duke it out over the panhandle like Michigan and Ohio did over Toledo.
That is fun facts. I know I should be knowing this from history class, but give me a break! I've been out of school like for 25 years now, and this is a great refresher.
Baldwin County is one of the highest income producing counties in the state of Alabama, with beautiful beaches and access to the port of Mobile. And a painful 10% sales tax.
I agree. My mom's side of the family is from Elberta
that doesn't say much for the broke dick state of Alabama. 😂
I always thought it was Alabama’s nuts
My Ancestors use to live their peacefully, until the boats showed up. Most were relocated to Oklahoma. Went down hill ever since. They called it progress.
I live two counties up from the Alabama Gulf Coast. The best part is that it is the same as Florida only a lot less expensive (for now anyway)
So you live in Clarke County. A poor ass county with very little commerce and even worse internet coverage. I'm from Washington County, and lived in Clarke for a decade and can say that they hold beautiful lands, but the townships are poor and dying.

Best beaches anywhere. Well except Hawaii...and Cancun...and Belize... Okay well it's a pretty nice beach.
Me too
I do but more in the middle of the state
This is what I was hoping for when that show "how the states got their shapes" was on
Cough we stole it. As a life long resident of Alabama I have to say...yeah makes sense to me.
Alabama could have had even more coastline if it took the pleads from the inhabitants of the Florida panhandle to join Alabama seriously and agreed to pay Florida for the area.

yeah thats basically nation ever in history

Outstanding Report!
This is where i been spending my late teens to early 20s past few years it's a great place but I always come back to east tn
I LOVE AMERICA! WE OWN THE WORLD AND DO AS WE PLEASE!
I love sarcasm too.
I understand Florida, including the panhandle, belonging to Spain, but I never understood why, when Florida become U.S. territory, why Congress didn't say, if it's south of Alabama, it should be Alabama.
Because the video clearly showed that Alabama was already established. It's literally in the video.
I kind of understand your point because technically the USA had troops inside of the florida panhandle before Spain sold it, which is something the video doesn't show, so technically the USA owned Florida when this Alabama situation happened, or at the least occupied it.
Simply because the US didn’t want to deal with the native Americans in Florida... atleast for a while...
Alabama already had the first-class port and was already a state with its current borders. If there were specific resources they wanted in the area, the state's legislators probably would have made it happen.
cuz no one gives a crap about backwoods backward Alabama. That's why... 🤣
Growing up in Pensacola we always called it Upper Class Lower Alabama, A.K.A. UCLA.
Why does Alabama have this little coastline?
Video;
“Here’s the entire history of Florida. Also, Alabama has coastline because. The end”
Lel
CableReadyTechnoSIut The video just explained it! :)
The video literally explains it.
It quite literally doesn’t.
“We just took it” stuck into the end of the video is an awful explanation lol...

That little bit of land gives Alabama access to the ocean, otherwise they's be landlocked.

Adrian Torres don’t forget Slovenia and Romania
theres some island on a river,its claimed by one state but its zip code is from its neighboring state.

And Louisiana got left with literally the shittiest gulf coastline of all. When originally, Louisiana bordered Florida.
Spain is like playing world conqueror for the first time
I live in the right little “leg” of Alabama and let’s just say that that’s the better one
you missed so much history florida tried to sell the panhandle multiple times even during the 20th century; i know i descend from confederates, fam been here since 1860s in the panhandle, and folks originally from pike county AL from Blountstown Carolina; not to mention West Florida Republic witht he bonnie Blue flag babbbby!

Hahaha Spain backs off
Legit I’m from Alabama and I’ve never thought about why we have this little foot at the bottom.
I wonder why Mississippi has a similar little panhandle coastline right next to Alabama’s panhandle coastline.
As a Floridian we want it back, Alabama has not right!
It's not England, it's the United Kingdom. Stating England means you're only referring to one of the 4 nations in the Union
Back then Australia, Canada, etc. were part of one of the empires where the sun never sets. Most nations with 18th century colonies still own bits of land outside of the continent of Europe.
I always thought that was a giant shark bite.
I wouldn’t be opposed to expanding Alabama’s territory to the Apalachicola... Who wants to start an interstate war?
You couldn't win, we're a much larger state.
Yeah, but you're mainly retired college kids on spring break dressed up as Disney characters. I think 'Bama has a fighting chance.
Georgia deserves more coastal land!
*from Missouri, no coastal land to speak of.*
Alabama should have the land west of the Apalachicola, because that would make Florida a blue state. ; )
Well why does FLORIDA have that huge chunk?
He clearly told you in the video. At the end.
It’s always been Florida from the beginning. If anything, Florida lost land if you include West Florida which was kinda a different thing tho.
That's like the Bootheel of Missouri, that sticks down into Arkansas. A long time ago the Bootheel didn't exist, but was just part of Arkansas. A wealthy powerful politician who lived in that part of Arkansas decided he wanted to live in Missouri because he though Missouri would be a powerful state because of the how many big rivers all met in MO. So, this politician used his power with Congress to have the state line redrawn, including the Bootheel for Missouri, thus making him and his district in Missouri.
And that's why military force is great.
I think a better explanation would have been “why were the state borders defined that way”. This video didn’t really explain much.
The most likely answer is that when they formed the states, some deals went through and Alabama just made sure they would have coastal access for the sake of trading.
Always knew the Alabama Gulf Coast had a chequered past, but it's worse than I thought . . .
Tom Hoffman That little stretch of land proved to be very valuable with the port of Mobile, who built US warships through as late as ww2, what the video didn't ell you is that people of Mobile and in this stretch of land wanted to be part of the US because of the taxes the Spanish were imposing on them. Same with Florida which is why they kept fighting the Spanish despite losing constantly. Essentially Spain lost theses lands because they could not afford to sustain and tax them. Pretty much the same thing with Central and South America.
Hey, let's play chequeres!
I already knew this, but I was interested on your take anyhow.

a better question would be why does FL have coastline under GA and AL?
Beautiful
That was easy to explain. I know there are 1000s of Alabamians that don't know this.
I've lived in Alabama for 25 years, be sure guys that this chunk has a trading and economical purpose. We import slaves through it.

Why the musical noise on this video? Who decided to include it? Why?
Interesting

Because it looks nice
This video is incomplete. By the end of the video, all that is explained is why America owns the land that is now AL's costal panhandle. It should've explained why that land was included in the state of AL when it was formed.

The real question is why does Florida have that long ass strip.
I don't know why, but i live in that little foot down there and it's just bipolar Alabama and Florida (p.s it sucks)
it sucks? boi you better try again.
Spain didn’t give Louisiana back to France until around 1802.
No, Louisiana should have the gulf coast up to the Perdido/Florida state line. Neither Alabama nor Mississippi reached the gulf as the “Mississippi Territory”.
Original Louisiana included Biloxi, Gulfport, and of course Mobile.
"Basically, they just wanted it, so they just took it!' Just like the rest of the country!! They wanted it, so they took it.
A better question was would be who stole the other part that should go all the way down to the Coast in a straight line along the Georgia border
Damn! We need something!
Great video 👍
Informative and hilarious
