Bootstrap - vertical alignment of columns does not work

I'm in the process of learning bootstrap, and I seem to be stuck at one of the most basic things - vertical alignment of columns. I am trying to get content to be anything but aligned at the top, but failing miserably.

I rewrote my code multiple times, but got no result. I started a new html document with just the code from bootstrap's documentation, but everything is still aligned at the top of the document. What am I missing here?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

  <title>Document</title>
</head>

<body>
  <div class="container text-center">
    <div class="row align-items-end">
      <div class="col">
        should be bottom - One of three columns
      </div>
      <div class="col">
        One of three columns
      </div>
      <div class="col">
        One of three columns
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

You're looking for the align-items-start class in Bootstrap.

To align all the items inside a grid we have multiple classes.

1. All the item's text starts from the start with align-items-start

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-gH2yIJqKdNHPEq0n4Mqa/HGKIhSkIHeL5AyhkYV8i59U5AR6csBvApHHNl/vI1Bx" crossorigin="anonymous">
  <title>Document</title>
</head>

<body>
  <div class="container text-center">
    <div class="row align-items-start">
      <div class="col">
        should be bottom - One of three columns
      </div>
      <div class="col">
        One of three columns
      </div>
      <div class="col">
        One of three columns
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" integrity="sha384-A3rJD856KowSb7dwlZdYEkO39Gagi7vIsF0jrRAoQmDKKtQBHUuLZ9AsSv4jD4Xa" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
</body>

</html>

All the items aligned vertically at the center with the align-items-center class

```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

  <title>Document</title>
</head>

<body>
  <div class="container text-center">
    <div class="row align-items-center">
      <div class="col">
        should be bottom - One of three columns
      </div>
      <div class="col">
        One of three columns
      </div>
      <div class="col">
        One of three columns
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" integrity="sha384-A3rJD856KowSb7dwlZdYEkO39Gagi7vIsF0jrRAoQmDKKtQBHUuLZ9AsSv4jD4Xa" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
</body>

</html>
```

**All text elements will be aligned at the end of the grid with align-items-end class **

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

  <title>Document</title>
</head>

<body>
  <div class="container text-center">
    <div class="row align-items-end">
      <div class="col">
        should be bottom - One of three columns
      </div>
      <div class="col">
        One of three columns
      </div>
      <div class="col">
        One of three columns
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" integrity="sha384-A3rJD856KowSb7dwlZdYEkO39Gagi7vIsF0jrRAoQmDKKtQBHUuLZ9AsSv4jD4Xa" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
</body>
