Alabama sought to join the Union primarily for economic and political reasons. As a southern state, it aimed to leverage its agricultural economy, particularly cotton production, which was crucial for trade and wealth. Additionally, joining the Union offered the opportunity for representation in Congress and a voice in the national political landscape, which was vital for the interests of its citizens. Ultimately, Alabama became a state on December 14, 1819, as part of the broader westward expansion of the United States.
