Gadsden - DONT TREAD ON ME

An historic flag dating from the American Revolution, the Gadsden Flag depicts a coiled rattlesnake read to strike, on a field of golden yellow. Just below the snake is the legend "DONT TREAD ON ME." Designed by and named after the American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden, the flag was also used by the U.S. Marine Corps as an early flag.
