A white background with a red x is a pseudo confederate flag? I didn't realize.

The x in the Alabama state flag is a St. Andrew's Cross inspired by Scotland's flag because at one point 1/3 of the souths population was Scottish.
Even though it wasn't adopted by law as the official state flag until 1895, the earliest version of the flag (almost exactly the same) was commonly used all over south Alabama over 100 years before the Confederacy even existed.
