Alabama, which joined the union as the 22nd state in 1819, is situated in the southern United States and nicknamed the "Heart of Dixie." Europeans came to this place in the sixteenth century. In the nineteenth century, cotton and slave work were vital to Alabama's economy. The state assumed a key part in the American Civil War; its capital, Montgomery, was the Confederacy's first capital.
In the nineteenth century, cotton and slave work were essential to Alabama's economy. The state expected a key part in the American Civil War; its capital, Montgomery, was the Confederacy's first capital. Alabama is the only state that contains all the major natural resources to make iron and steel within its borders.
Over the years, there has been much confusion and speculation over the shape of the Alabama state flag. Dr. Thomas Owen, director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History interviewed individuals who had been around at the time that the bill was introduced. He concluded that the flag was intended to "preserve in permanent form some of the more distinctive features of the Confederate battle flag, particularly the St. Andrew's cross" Owen then made the conclusion that the flag should be square, based on the "regulations governing the Confederate battle flag."
On January 11, 1861, the Secession Convention passed a determination allocating a flag made by Montgomery women as the official pennant. This flag has consistently been insinuated as the Republic of Alabama Flag. One side of the flag demonstrated the Goddess of Liberty holding in her right hand an unsheathed sword; in the left a flag with one star.
All through the spring of 1863, the Confederate Congress wrangled about the outline for another national banner for the Confederacy. On May 1, both houses consented to a banner comprising of a white field, with a length twice the length of its width, and a square Confederate Battle Flag. The Second National Flag was broadly known as the "Stainless Banner." Because the first issue of this banner hung the box of General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, it was otherwise called the "Jackson Flag." Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of university right at home.
Today's Alabama's state flag is simply a crimson cross on a field of white (patterned after the Confederate battle flag). The Alabama legislation does not specify whether the flag should be square or rectangular (only that the bars be at least 6 inches broad), and it is seen both ways.
