The Gadsden Flag was designed in 1775 by Continental Colonel Christopher Gadsden as a naval ensign for the first U.S. Navy. The coiled rattlesnake, inspired by Benjamin Franklin’s 1754 “Join, or Die” cartoon, symbolizes vigilance and readiness to strike. Adopted during the American Revolution, it became a symbol of individual liberty and resistance to oppression.
