Alabama
Montgomery — Slavery, Confederacy & Civil Rights
Montgomery compresses extraordinary contradiction into a small downtown: a major domestic slave-trading center, first capital of the Confederacy, Jim Crow city, birthplace of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and endpoint of the Selma voting-rights march. This route connects those histories directly, ending with modern memorials that deliberately recenter victims and Black resistance.
