The first official
Alabama State Flag, the "Secession Convention Flag", was
designated by the Secession Convention on January 11, 1861.
The "Secession Convention Flag" designed by a group of women
from Montgomery, was flown for only one month until February
10, 1861. Damaged in a severe storm, this Alabama State flag
was never to fly over Alabama again.
Often referred to as the
"Republic of Alabama Flag", the next Alabama State flag displayed
different scenes on each side.
From March 4, 1861 until April, 1865 one of two
Confederate National Flags was flown as the Alabama State
flag.
In 1895, 76 years after being admitted to the Union,
the Alabama Legislature authorized the "crimson cross of St.
Andrew on a field of white" to be the Alabama State flag in
the "Acts of Alabama." Reminiscent of the Confederate battle
flag, it was designated that the crimson bars must be six
inches broad and were to extend diagonally across the Alabama
State flag. Because act 383 did not specify a particular
format, the Alabama State flag is depicted sometimes as a
square and at other times, the Alabama State flag is a
rectangle. The Alabama State flag is a great gift for
anyone from Alabama. The Alabama State flag is also big
with Lynard Skynard fans. When purchasing an Alabama
State flag, be sure your Alabama State flag was American made. |
