The term "Don't Tread on Me" originated during the American Revolution and is associated with the Gadsden flag, which features a rattlesnake and this phrase. Benjamin Franklin first used the rattlesnake as a symbol of the American colonies' resistance to British rule in his 1754 "Join, or Die" political cartoon. The Gadsden flag was designed in 1775 by Christopher Gadsden, a Continental Army general, as a symbol of the colonies' determination to defend their rights and liberties.
