In Response To: Sherman's Confederates ()

The 1st Alabama Cavalry (US) was mostly from Walker and Winston Counties of Alabama -- poor hill country. As to Bridgeport, TN ... it's actually in Alabama, right on the state line.

About a dozen years ago, Bridgeport did decide it was getting neglected by Alabama and proposed to secede and join Tennessee. Didn't happen though.
