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 Republic of Alabama flag did not fly long. On February 10, 1861, one month after it was adopted, the flag was damaged in a severe storm and was moved to the Governor's office, never to fly over Alabama again.
Without a flag of their own, Alabamans rallied under the flags of the Confederate States of America. From March 4, 1861, until April 1865 one of two Confederate National Flags waved over Alabama soil.
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.
Reminiscent of the Confederate battle flag, it was designated that the crimson bars were not to be less than six inches broad and were to extend diagonally across the flag. Because Act 383 did not specify a particular format, the flag is sometimes depicted as a square and at other times depicted as a rectangle.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Alabama flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Alabama flag for the future.
