Although the units are designed to augment the study of Alabama, they are useful in the study of U.S. history, world history, and the social studies in general. Each unit contains background information for the teacher and consists of several lessons. Lessons contain learning strategies, suggested activities, and documents. This unit is divided into four sections: (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Lesson 1: From Territory to State" (Alabama Governors; Capitols of Alabama; 12 primary source documents); (3) "Lesson 2: Frontier Justice" (seven primary source documents); and (4)"Lesson 3: Alabama Fever" (one worksheet; one primary source document).
