Originally from North Carolina, William Rufus King would move to Alabama and become instrumental in the establishment of Alabama as a state, writing the first constitution and creating Alabama. He would also serve the country at the national level as well. He became Vice-President of the United States with President Franklin Pierce, but he would never serve a day.
