The antebellum homes of Natchez, Mississippi
Natchez once boasted over 500 millionaires, more than any other city in the United States, except New York. In this short video, Charlie Adams shows you antebellum homes of those millionaires, including Longwood, circa 1858-61. It is the largest remaining octagonal house in the United States. It is a superb example of the mid-19th century Oriental style and was originally designed by it's owner, Dr. Haller Rush Nutt, with solar panels (strategically place mirrors) to reflect the sun's rays for the purpose of heating water. However, when the Civil War began, the workmen who were from the north, abandoned saws and hammers and returned home. Dr. Nutt, also a northerner, lost his wealth and plantations across the river in Louisiana and died a broken man. Longwood remains unfinished today, but that is part of its charm. Charlie takes you through the rooms and corridors of this most unusual house where you will find the workmen's tools left where they were dropped, abandoned in their haste to quit the South.
Since 2006 Charlie has taken hundreds of people on group travel trips for Edgerton's Travel, where he shares inspirational stories from his keynotes and seminars along the way. A former award winning television anchor, he also produces a 60 minute DVD documentary for travelers. Here on youtube, he shares short clips from the documentaries, which can educate you on places you may want to visit one day.

SUMMARY
=======
Alabama is a state in the southeastern region of the United States. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. Alabama is the 30th largest by area and the 24th-most populous of the U.S. states. With a total of 1,500 miles (2,400 km) of inland waterways, Alabama has among the most of any state.Alabama is nicknamed the Yellowhammer State, after the state bird. Alabama is also known as the Heart of Dixie and the Cotton State. The state tree is the longleaf pine, and the state flower is the camellia. Alabama's capital is Montgomery. The largest city by population is Birmingham, which has long been the most industrialized city; the largest city by land area is Huntsville. The oldest city is Mobile, founded by French colonists in 1702 as the capital of French Louisiana.From the American Civil War until World War II, Alabama, like many states in the southern U.S., suffered economic hardship, in part because of its continued dependence on agriculture. Similar to other former slave states, Alabamian legislators employed Jim Crow laws to disenfranchise and otherwise discriminate against African Americans from the end of the Reconstruction Era up until at least the 1970s. Despite the growth of major industries and urban centers, white rural interests dominated the state legislature from 1901 to the 1960s. During this time, urban interests and African Americans were markedly under-represented. Following World War II, Alabama grew as the state's economy changed from one primarily based on agriculture to one with diversified interests. The state's economy in the 21st century is based on management, automotive, finance, manufacturing, aerospace, mineral extraction, healthcare, education, retail, and technology.
