Widely used during the American Revolution, the DONT TREAD ON ME flag is considered one of the first flags of the United States. A rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike is seen on a yellow background with the legend DONT TREAD ON ME. Seen as a symbol of American patriotism, the flag was designed by and is named after American general and statesman Christopher Gadsden.
