"ENTERPRISE, Ala. - America's last known Civil War widow never had a hoop skirt or a mansion like Tara."

Enterprise, Alabama is the only place in the world that has a monument to an insect, the boll weevil. The boll weevil forced farmers to switch from cotton to peanuts. Some got rich off peanut farming. Cotton farmers were starving.
