Alabama's Flag and its Story

- Correction: Mentioned in the video as a Cross of St. Andrew (and labeled as such in the original legislation for the flag), the red cross on the state flag is actually a red saltire with connections to the Confederate battle flag.
Learn about Alabama's flag and those that came before it.
It is clear that the flag of Florida and Alabama are the Spanish inheritance, for whom they were founded and inhabited for centuries, the same happens with more than half the United States.
I thought it was English?

@@karansarat It is not.
More than half of the USA was and is of Spanish origin from the Spanish Empire, the Spaniards came to what the USA 100 years before the English puritanical pilgrims on the Atlantic coast, the Spaniards already had cities, towns, universities, hospitals in what is now the USA, inhabited by peninsular Spaniards, native USA and Mestizos children of Spanish + native USA = Mestizos USA.
St. Augustine in Florida, the oldest city in the United States was founded by Spaniards 450 years ago.
That is why most of the half of the towns and cities in the USA have Spanish names and have the flag linked to the first flag of the Spanish Empire, the Burgundy flagpole or St. Andrew's Cross, which represents the Hispanic world in the planet.
@@whitneywade4324 Today the burgundy horn is still used in the Kingdom of Spain - Europe and in Hispanic American countries, in the USA, Oceania, the Philippines, Naples and Sicily, the Netherlands, formerly called Spanish Netherlands, Holland and Equatorial Guinea.
If all that and more was the First Western Global Empire, the Spanish Empire
America has only been around for 5 minutes
The cross of Burgundy is still used in many spanish army regiments that are 4 or 5 centuries old. Some say that Spain changed the flag firstly in the Navy because being always fighting the english there were many friendly fire incidents in the sea.
Cruz de Borgoña / Spanish Empire, the flag of the Hispanic world.:):)
Sin miedo a nada, ni a nadie, por España!! Viva España!! Siempre!! 💪🇪🇸
That is the Spanish flag, la. Ruz de borgona
Nothing to do with the french or british.
The people that do not their history
i bound to repeat their mistakes.
chrisw exactly, Spain have the cross since 1520.
You are just a fake copy.
Like the dolar which was Spanish.
Or the genocide of indian that is Brithis all the way,
And they blame the spaniards that mix with them.
It is actually a red saltire cross on white field, in modern heraldry the cross of St Andrew is very specific, and constitutes white saltire on blue field.
***** Thanks for your comment. I did not realize that. Apparently, the legislation on Alabama's flag from 1895 specifically mentions it being a cross of St. Andrew, so that was the intention - "The flag of the State of Alabama shall be a crimson cross of St. Andrew on a field of white. The bars forming the cross shall be not less than six inches broad, and must extend diagonally across the flag from side to side." - (Code 1896, §3751; Code 1907, §2058; Code 1923, §2995; Code 1940, T. 55, §5.)" - but as you say, by your modern definition it is a red saltire cross.
Wanderlust: Exploration & Adventure I would wager the people who wrote the legislation were politicians or lawyers and not vexillologists or heralds. Saltire and St Andrews Cross are often confused by people outside the world of vexillology and heraldry, it is not helped by the fact many Scots call their flag (St Andrew's Cross) "the Saltire" Historically a St Andrew's Cross could be many colours but it was standardised the blue and white in the late 17th Century. Its kinda like all thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs

@@WanderlustWisdom it's not modern definition it's the st Patrick's hand
@@WanderlustWisdom LOL the irish conquering Alabama.... Come on anglosaxons... Spain conquered America from alaska till Tierra del Fuego in Argentina... The irish meanwhile were fighting between them with spears.
I'm from Alabama and it was the French that first settled in Alabama Southern Alabama used to be part of Florida which was owned by spain. It is some very interesting history.
As near as I can research it, the Alabamian flag is not the "Cross of St Andrew" (which is blue), but the old Kingdom of Ireland "Cross of St Patrick" (1542 - 1801).
+Ashley Groome Correct!
That's a great lie!!!! In fact alabama is Irish name??? Colorado? Florida? Arizona? California? Nuevo mexico??....etc etc etc....go to school again fellow!!! And check who were on there before Anglo-Saxon....what a little culture many people has...
This is exactly what I've known for most of my life....St. PATRICK'S Cross. St. Andrew's Cross is the Flag of Scotland, Blue field with a White Cross. lehaim37 - The name Alabama comes from the first Spanish explorers that encountered Native Americans clearing the banks of rivers....the Spanish called them Alabamoo (spelling idk), which meant 'Thicket Clearers'.

The official alabama state flag code refers to it as a crimson cross of st andrew. yes, st andrew cross is blue. the video creator read the official flag description
You're missing the 1861Alabama Flag when it seceded from the tyrant Union
🫱The Cross of Burgundy or cross of Saint Andrew is the Flag of the Spanish Empire.
It represents the Hispanic world, HISPANITY❤.
In the USA, northerners hate it, without knowing that this flag was used in the north, center and south of the USA centuries before the English arrived.
Montana (Montaña), California, Alabama, Texas, Nuevo México,Florida, Puerto Rico,...etc
Alabama, Florida, Puerto Rico ,Texas ...etc...same flag cross of Burgundy or Saint Andrew.
But they should stop by Fort Mosé.
Greetings 👍
Also the flag of St. Patrick
yes.. But when Spain was an empire the irish still were fighting in tribes.
☝
🙈
that's not the st Andrew's cross that's the old Irish flag before they changed it to the fake republic flag
💀💀💀💀
It's a copied version of the st Patrick's saltire
St Patricks saltaire
Irish Alabama?.. hahahaha.. The irish were fighting between clans where Spain was the great empire of the world.
I am hopeful that the state of Alabama will change its flag from that dumb, ugly red X to a beautiful image of Mr. Ratburn's wedding. In fact, Alex Hirsch's petition already has 29,685 signatures, and one of them is mine. Please add yours!
@chrisw Alex Hirsch's flag proposal is a screenshot of Nigel Ratburn and his husband Patrick from the Arthur episode "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone". The petition is mostly about getting Alabama Public Television to air the episode. Should APT actually air the episode, no flag change will be necessary.
@@bradsmith7116 if they don’t live in Alabama it’s none of their Goddamn business
@@sseasoning4024 At least Mississippi got rid of its Confederate emblem!
@@bradsmith7116 it isn’t a confederate emblem buddy.I have relatives in southern Alabama in the Mobil region, which was controlled by Spain. Infact there is litterly a town called Spanish fort. That’s what that flag stands for
@@sseasoning4024 I'm actually referring to how the Confederate flag was featured on Mississippi's old flag. Alabama's current (for now) flag is not Confederate-related at all.
