The history of the flag
The earliest documented usage of the Gadsden flag design was an authentic flag that dates from the Continental Navy’s first expedition, which took place in December 1775. Just before the navy sailed, South Carolina businessman and soldier Christopher Gadsden presented the captain of the navy, Esek Hopkins, with a variant of the flag for use as the private banner of his vessel.
Gadsden had drawn inspiration from Hopkins’ last post’s flag, the Providence Train of Artillery. On a gold backdrop, their flag had a writhing rattlesnake and the inscription “Do Not Tread on Me,” as well as an anchor, artillery, and the slogan “In God We Hope.”
The First Navy Jack, a rattlesnake-themed flag with 13 red and white stripes and the message “Don’t Tread on Me,” was first flown from the United States Navy ship in 1977.
