The celebration is held on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent begins. Alabama is the only state with all major natural resources needed to make iron and steel. It is also the largest supplier of cast-iron and steel pipe products. "Alabama" is the official state song. Montgomery is the capital and the birthplace of the Confederate States of America. Alabama became the 22nd state on December 14, 1819. At 2,405 feet Cheaha Mountain is Alabama's highest point above sea level. In 1995 Heather Whitestone of Alabama was chosen as the first Miss America with a disability. Mobile is named after the Mauvilla Indians. Hematite is Alabama's official state mineral and is known as oxide of iron.
