Florida State Flag – A Symbol of Heritage

From 1868 to 1900, the flag of Florida was simply the seal of Florida on a white background. In the late 1890’s, Governor Francis P. Fleming suggested that a red cross be added so that it would not appear to be a white flag of truce when hanging still on a flagpole. Some have claimed that the cross is intended to recall the blue saltire of the Confederate Battle Flag. However, this view is not universal and there is no significant opposition to the current design within the state (as there has been in Georgia and Mississippi over their Confederate-style flags).
