What are facts about Alabama in the 1930's?
The Jewish people in England began to migrate to Alabama by boat and donkey. They did so because Hitler was beginning to come out - he was going to kill all of the Jews. The black to white ratio at this time was about 4/10. Whites ruled, and the Jews - along with the blacks - were ridiculed and sent into slavery. The stock market boosted, then plumetted, leading the Jews to kill a lot of the blacks, and the blacks to kill a lot of the whites. The KKK was then introduced and the KKK began killing off all of the little black babies without any say of the Jews. One Jew named Heimlen Slhour decided he needed to put a stop to all of the madness and he joined the KKK as a mission to defeat it. He got initiated into the KKK tribe and killed the "head honcho", Jeremy Ratchet. The murder of Jeremy Rachet led the KKK to an end and the Jews slowly migrated back to England. Alabama was then peaceful. Few of the donkeys that the Jewish left behind remained in North America, and were found by a Canadian named Simon Reley. Reley brought all of the found donkeys back to Canada and named them singly. He named the five, Sam, Som, Sum, Sem and Semen. The five donkeys died and Simon sold the meats to an african man. This african man sold the donkey meat and made millions of dollars. This african was then the richest black man in the country. His name was Jamaal Jameson. With Jamaal being rich, he signed a treaty to end slavery once and for all. Slavery has not been popular since. :)
