| HIST | The Gadsden Flag is a historical American flag with a bright yellow field depicting a rattlesnake, coiled and ready to strike. Printed under the snake are the words “Don’t Tread On Me.” This flag was named after its designer, American statesman Christopher Gadsden. Benjamin Franklin first used the rattlesnake in 1751 when he referenced it is a satirical commentary that he pubished in his Pennsylvania Gazette. As the American Revolution approached the snake became a symbol of the colonies and the American spirit. The United States Navy was established in 1775, and before ships departed for their first mission, Gadsden presented the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Commodore Esek Hopkins, with the “Don’t Tread On Me” flag to serve as his personal standard. The Gadsden flag is considered to be one of the first flags of the United States, and has been reintroduced many times since the American Revoluion as a symbol of American patriotism.
