ALABAMA STATE FLAG FACTS

Alabama was the 22nd state to enter the Union on December 14, 1819.  The state flag was adopted in 1895.

The flag was designed with a diagonal crimson cross of St. Andrew on a square white field.  The cross appears to be deliberately reminiscent of the Confederate States' Battle Flag.  According to the Legistative Act 383 in 1895 the cross was to be diagonal ( from side to side ) on the field and the bars were not to be less than six inches wide.  The Act did not specify a square or rectangular field.
