Alabama Secession Flag of 1861 – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Symbolizing Alabama’s Path to Independence

The Alabama Secession Flag of 1861 marks the moment Alabama left the Union on January 11, 1861. As part of the American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flags, this 3’×5′ flag recreates the banner first raised at the State Capitol in Montgomery. Moreover, the motto “INDEPENDENT NOW AND FOREVER” proclaims the state’s resolve and identity at the dawn of war.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This reproduction presents a deep blue field and the figure of Liberty. She holds a sword in one hand and lifts a flag reading “Alabama” in the other. Above her, gold letters arc the motto “INDEPENDENT NOW AND FOREVER.” In effect, the imagery declares sovereignty, courage, and self-determination. Furthermore, the colors and layout mirror known examples from period sources to keep the design faithful.
