History
Alabama adopted this flag on February 16, 1895. Its design is legally defined as a crimson Cross of St. Andrew on a white field, and it was introduced by Representative John W. A. Sanford Jr. The design is widely understood to reflect late-19th-century Southern heritage and has often been linked by historians to the Confederate battle flag, making it a subject of periodic debate over those associations.
