Yes it is called the union jack
These were probably the three most used flags in colonial America. 1: The "Union Jack". It was identical to the UK's current flag, but the X behind the cross in the union Jack had no red stripes. 2: The Red Ensign. It had the Union Jack in the canton (like the American flag's white stars) and the rest was red. 3: The Continental Colors. It was identical to the American flag, but where the stars are today there was a Union Jack.

No, the union flag is the British flag.The very first American flag included a union flag in the upper hoist canton, along with the thirteen stripes, this flag was named the Grand Union Flag. (This flag is the same as the British East India company flag, pre 1801.)There can be some confusion around this topic. In common American English use, the term "the Union" refers to the Northern States (i.e. the states remaining in the United States) during the American Civil War. As such, any reference in that context to a "Union Flag" means the American Flag (as flow at the time). "Union Flag" was not some specific design of flag, but was the American Flag.Outside the context of the American Civil War, the term Union Flag refers to the design of the Union Jack flag, the current flag of the United Kingdom (i.e. Great Britain, or, formally, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
The first Alabama state flag was created in January, 1861, when the state seceeded from the Union. The current flag, the crimson cross, was created in 1895.
