Alabama is a southern state, and its official nickname is "Heart of the South". The name is taken from the language of a local Indian tribe that called itself "Alabama". These places were inhabited by several tribes before the Europeans; after white men took over their territories, the Indians fought desperately but were forced to leave for other states. Alabama is among the states of the so-called Far, or Deep South, which are areas that were totally dependent on some form of agriculture. The warm climate and humidity made Alabama a good place to grow cotton, so there were a lot of plantations, and therefore a lot of black slaves.
