Rich Revolutionary History

Designed by American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden in 1775, this flag was presented to the Continental Congress and became a symbol of the American Revolution. The coiled rattlesnake, ready to strike when provoked, represented the American colonies' determination to defend their rights and freedom. The motto 'Don't Tread on Me' became a rallying cry for independence that resonates to this day.

Powerful Symbolism

The timber rattlesnake was chosen for its uniquely American nature and its symbolic qualities. Benjamin Franklin noted that the rattlesnake never attacks without warning, but once provoked, never surrenders - qualities he saw reflected in the American spirit. The thirteen rattles on the snake's tail represented the original thirteen colonies united in their cause for liberty.
