The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag with a yellow field depicting
a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike. Positioned below the rattlesnake
are the words "Dont tread on me". The flag is named after American general
and statesman Christopher Gadsden, who designed it in 1775 during the
American revolution. It was also used by the Continental Marines as an early
motto flag, along with the Moultrie Flag.
