Don’t Tread On MeTee

Description

Christopher Gadsden, a Continental congressman and brigadier general from South Carolina, designed his defiant yellow “Don’t Tread On Me” flag in 1775 as a nod to Ben Franklin’s “Join, or Die” political cartoon, which presented the American colonies as a segmented rattlesnake. If General Gladsen and Ben Franklin were alive today, we hope they could get a chuckle out of our cheeky response to conflict generating imagery.
