Alabama adopted its flag design in 1895, five years earlier than Florida did. ===Theories on origin=== The inspiration for Alabama's flag is not known. Many have noted that a saltire also appears in [[Flags of the Confederate States of America\|flags]] used decades earlier by the [[Confederate States of America]], a group of states, including Alabama, that declared [[Secession in the United States\|secession]] and warred against the [[United States]] during the [[American Civil War]]. No documentation in the legislative records indicates the Alabama flag was intended to commemorate the Confederacy.<ref name=sn>{{cite news\|last1=Williams\|first1=Dave\|title=Flag debate spreading across Deep South\|url=http://savannahnow.com/stories/091700/LOCflaginsight.shtml#.VaunxRNVhBd\|access-date=March 25, 2022\|work=Savannah Morning News\|date=September 17, 2000\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150722185513/http://savannahnow.com/stories/091700/LOCflaginsight.shtml#.VaunxRNVhBd\|archive-date=July 22, 2015\|url-status=dead}}</ref> Still, various people have asserted over the decades that the design was drawn from the Confederate battle flag.<ref name="SJLR" /> In 1900, the ''[[Montgomery Advertiser]]'' reported the flag was "a memory and a suggestion of the Confederate battle flag".<ref>{{cite news \|date=12 December 1900 \|title=The Flag of Alabama \|newspaper=Huntsville Weekly Democrat \|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54577632/alflag-19001212-repeat/ \|access-date=5 April 2022}}</ref> In 1906, a piece in the ''[[Birmingham Age-Herald]]'' stated the Alabama state flag "has no history woven into it".<ref name="nyt" /> In 1915, [[Thomas M.
