Symbolism of the Don’t Tread on Me Flag

The Gadsden Flag originated in the 1770s as a revolutionary message to Britain during the American War for Independence. Designed by General Christopher Gadsden of South Carolina, the flag served as a warning that liberty would not be threatened without consequence.

The coiled rattlesnake was chosen because it does not strike unless provoked. It represents vigilance, independence, and strength. The yellow field amplifies its visual message of caution and defiance.

Modern use of the Liberty and Freedom Flag continues in military units, veteran communities, and political gatherings. It is also widely used by those who uphold constitutional values, freedom of speech, and individual rights.
