Brierfield, Alabama

Brierfield is an unincorporated community in Bibb County, Alabama, United States.[1] It was established in the mid 19th century and was the site of a major ironworks operation during and following the American Civil War. It is thought by scholars to be named in honor of Jefferson Davis' Brierfield Plantation, which supplied the first ironworks with machinery.[2] It has two sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Brierfield Furnace and Montebrier.[3]

gollark: - Some of Parliament wants it, others don't- The country seems pretty much 50/50 split on whether they want it- Nobody can agree on what it should be or how it should work
gollark: It might become obsolete if a RXGT+ 2130 (I fully expect the naming scheme of the next generation to be this bad) is made, which presumably will be somewhat cheaper than my card and perform similarly.
gollark: My GTX 1050 is arguably still not obsolete since there is no similarly priced newer competitor from Nvidia.
gollark: You should complain to redidit.
gollark: The best ÇPU for this? Probably an LN2-cooled overclocked 28 core Xeoñ W.
