Much more than a historical examination, The Flags of Civil War Alabama stands as a tribute to the men who bore these colors . . . men who were the heart of the regiment, the soul of the battle line, and the focus of the enemy's fire.
On January 11, 1861, the Alabama legislature convened at Montgomery and voted to remove their state from the Union. This was the beginning of a battle for the hopes and dreams of the people of Alabama. Few artifacts from this period of Alabama's history so poignantly represent these hopes and dreams as do the beautiful tattered banners of the short-lived republic.
