Flag Of Alabama And Its History

By Stella Adams


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.

Throughout the years, there has been much theory over the state of the Alabama state banner. Dr. Thomas Owen, chief of the Alabama Department of Archives and History talked with people who had been around at the time that the bill was presented. He inferred that the banner ought to be square, taking into account the "regulations administering the Confederate fight banner."

On January 11, 1861, the Secession Convention passed a determination assigning a banner composed by Montgomery ladies as the official banner of the tradition. This banner has regularly been alluded to as the Republic of Alabama Flag. One side of the banner showed the Goddess of Liberty holding in her right hand an unsheathed sword; in the left a little banner with one star.

The Second National Flag was widely known as the "Stainless Banner." Because the first issue of this flag draped the coffin of General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, it was also known as the "Jackson Flag." The Flag Company Inc specialised in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorise the future of the Alabama University.

Today's Alabama's state flag is only a red cross on a field of white. The Alabama flag is seen on both ways, in square or rectangular. When Alabama became a state on Dec. 14, 1819.
