Alabama

Alabama marks Morton's home state in the American South, a place of flat landscapes and absent skyscrapers that sharpens his awe at New York's vertical sprawl. He cites it as his origin, contrasting its modest scale with the Empire State Building's heights, and mistakenly pegs its year as 1966 amid the actual 1963 setting. This backdrop fuels his wide-eyed naivety, positioning him as an earnest outsider whose rural roots clash with the time travelers' disorientation and the Daleks' pursuit.
