About the Alabama Flag

The current flag of the state of Alabama was authorized by the Alabama State Legislature on February 16, 1895.  Although Alabama had been a state since 1819, it had never had an official state flag.  During its years of secession, it flew the Confederate battle flag..   Like Florida's flag, Alabama's was inspired by the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia.  Most of the soldiers from both states fought for that army during the Civil War.  And William Oates, a former regimental commander in the Army of Northern Virginia, was the governor of Alabama when the state's flag was designed.  Oates led the Confederate assault on Little Round Top at the Battle of Gettysburg.  

Alabama's  flag has perhaps the simplest design of all the state flags.  It bears a crimson cross of St. Andrew on a field of white.  The bars must not be less than six inches broad and must extend diagonally across the flag from corner to corner.  The design recalls the Confederate flag.  Alabama and Rhode Island are the only states to fly a square flag.
