The phrase "Don't tread on me" is associated with the Gadsden Flag, which was designed in 1775 by American general Christopher Gadsden during the American Revolution. The flag featured a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike, symbolizing the colonies' willingness to defend their rights. The phrase itself became a rallying cry for American independence and has since been adopted in various contexts.

In the Gadsden and Navy Jack 'Dont Tread on Me' flags does the 'don't' have an apostrophe?

Apostrophe in 'Dont Tread on Me'This is a common question, because you will see flags that have it both ways, i.e. DONT TREAD ON ME andDON'T TREAD ON MEHistorically, the former is more correct. Spelling and grammar were not standardized in the 18th century the way they are today. Apostrophes were not used in the strict manner we use them now.However, it's important to note that flags also weren't standardized in the way they are today. Every flag was handmade. Moreover, many people were reproducing the "Dont Tread on Me" flags from memory or adjusting the symbolism for their own use. There was no one "Don't Tread on Me" flag used across the colonies.And what's more, there are only a few surviving early flags. What we know about the flags is mostly second hand.Given all this uncertainty, it's easy to see why many people reproducing the flag today would choose to use our own standard conventions for apostrophes.
