Slave count

The number of slaves is missing both here and in History of Alabama. Important to discussing the war. Availability of manpower. Student7 ( talk) 14:54, 26 November 2011 (UTC) reply

Proposed merger (redirect of "Alabama Republic" to this article)

  • Support merger by redirect of Alabama Republic to this article. The article distills down to a paragraph about the secession flag with the only pertinent reference being to a description in Alabama archives: "This flag has often been referred to as the Republic of Alabama Flag." That is the extent of the working cites. The flag image and description could be included here without any loss of verifiable content. The "Republic" name doesn't appear to be supported by reliable sources. Red Harvest ( talk) 01:54, 5 December 2014 (UTC) reply
Support -- good argument. Rjensen ( talk) 03:08, 5 December 2014 (UTC) reply
Merge to this target. Content fork of subject. BusterD ( talk) 04:34, 5 December 2014 (UTC) reply
Merge to this article. No need for a separate Alabama Republic article; any pertinent info about that could, and should, be included here. - Ecjmartin ( talk) 03:31, 6 December 2014 (UTC) reply

Note the "Alabama Republic" article has been nominated for deletion by another user. I therefore update my position to support deletion with possible redirect as the basis for "Republic" is speculative as are others in the "series."

This discussion should be closed since the AfD discussion resulted in elimination of the page. Red Harvest ( talk) 07:02, 29 December 2014 (UTC) reply

Poorly Written and Cited

This article is poorly written and in bad need of cites. There are/were several sections (I removed the ones that did not cite any thing) that had no cites whatsoever...recommend total rewrite with scholarly cites and less partisanship towards Unionists...

I agree. Through the article only one sample of each source in favor of slavery was cited. For example they only say one politician supported secession in the support of slavery. What about the others. I would note the politicians cited was not even the governor. The governor is the one that speaks to what the people of his state were thinking in taking a particular act. What statements did Alabama's governor make? There are records of what Alabama's other politicians were saying at the time.

They cite only one newspaper at the time. What about the other newspapers at the time this happened? Does the If the LA Times were to speak against rights for immigrants does the LA Times speak for all the newspapers in California???

Without additional sources this article is nothing more than hit piece whose only purpose is to stir up racial hatred toward "white" Americans. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1012:B004:89F7:A041:8F26:6BEF:EDAA ( talk) 00:28, 11 January 2017 (UTC) reply
