The Heart of Dixie, or Alabama, is a state in the south of the United States. Although Birmingham is the largest metropolitan and industrialized city, Montgomery is the country's capital. Alabama has highly hot, muggy summers with a lot of severe weather, including tropical storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and big thunderstorms. The winters in Alabama are remarkably mild, quiet, and pretty cozy.

The sole saltwater port in Alabama is in Mobile, which is also the state's oldest city. In Alabama, Decatur, Birmingham, and Montgomery all have a number of water ports that are situated along the rivers. In terms of transportation, Alabama has a large number of U.S. highways, six major interstates, and four significant toll roads. The world's first electric trolley system was introduced in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1886, which is another fascinating fact about Alabama. Alabama is the only state with all the essential major natural resources for producing iron and steel.
