If Alabama is going to have a reference to the o CUSA on our seal it should be an actual official flag, not this one whic was hijacked by the KKK and segregationists.
Don't understand the reference to "heritage" as this flag was the battle flag of Northern VA. The only thing it has to do with Alabama's heritage is to glorify the KKK and segregation

This is the flag that should be on Alabama's coat of arms.

The first official national flag of the Confederacy, often called the "Stars and Bars", was flown from March 4, 1861 to May 1, 1863. It was designed by German/Prussian artist Nicola Marschall in Marion, Alabama and resembles the Flag of the Austrian Empire (later Austria-Hungary, now the Republic of Austria), with which Marschall would have been familiar. The "Stars and Bars" flag was adopted March 4, 1861, in the first temporary national capital of Montgomery, Alabama, and raised over the dome of that first Confederate capitol.

You realize the Battle Flag was used throughout the Confederacy during the war, right?
And that Alabamians fought under it, including in the Army of Northern Virginia?

What an idiotic statement. Uhh. How about thousands of troops from the State of Alabama that served in the Army of Northern Virginia?The Confederate Army of Tennessee also used that battle flag. The only difference was the ANV used a square pattern and the AOT used a rectangular pattern. Also The State of Alabama flew all four Confederate Flags at the Confederate Memorial on the capital grounds( since about 1993) up until about two weeks ago. How did the State of Alabama not receive the ban from the NCAA and the PC crowd but S. Carolina did? South Carolina you got screwed all of these years.
