Before the Civil War, North Alabama was infamous for lawlessness. The era saw courts filled with defendants who spanned the socioeconomic gamut--farmers, merchants and politicians. In 1811, John B. Haynes tore apart William Badger''s house with his bare hands. Rodah Barnett ran a series of ill-reputed brothels in the early 1820s.
