Is Alabama bigger than Kentucky

Answer 1

Yes, Alabama is slightly larger than Mississippi. The area of Alabama is 50,750 square miles, and the area of Mississippi is 46,914 square miles.

Before becoming states, Alabama and Mississippi were originally each part of the "Mississippi Territory". In 1816, the territory was divided almost perfectly in half along a near-vertical border, thus giving both regions access to the Gulf of Mexico as well as a share of the rich bottomland in the south. Their border between them is not exactly vertical, however, due to the fact that Congress divided the bottomland in half with a North-South line. In order to achieve a more equal division of the territory, Congress then angled the remaining border between the two states in a northeasterly direction up to the Tennessee River, where the border then follows the river slightly to the west again.

Mississippi became a state in 1817, and Alabama in 1819.
