That's revisionist history at it's finest when a flag with an X on it is inspired by the Confederate flag even though it predated the Confederacy by 70 years.

The current Alabama state flag was adopted in the 1890s. Though there is some debate on just why its design was chosen (as you note), most concede that it was probably picked due to its similarity to the battle flag. We need to get with the times and change it.
