If you grow them in containers and bring the containers inside for the winter, they will survive and start producing again in the spring. People disagree about whether you will get more fruits that way, or by starting fresh with a new plant every spring. Probably the answer is "it depends".
I don't know whether peppers can survive outside in an Alabama winter. How cold does it get there? You can look up your zone here: https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/
Even if your winter isn't cold enough to kill the plant, it might be cold enough to stress the plant badly, which would decrease its ability to fruit.
