Don’t Tread on me!!

--

You probably have seen rednecks hanging a bright yellow flag that says Don’t tread on me out of their trucks! Have you ever wondered what this flag means? The media and politicians say this flag represents terrorism and rebellious behavior, but that isn’t true. Actor, Chris Pratt, was spotted wearing a shirt saying “Don’t Tread on me”. Now several media outlets calling him racist.

During the Revolutionary War, this same symbol was used to unify the thirteen colonies to defeat Britain for their independence. Don’t Tread on Me Flag was originally designed by Christopher Gadsden in 1775. The flag displays a collied rattlesnake on a patch of green grass. This remarkable symbol represents freedom, not terrorism. I hate politicians if they don’t like something they usually try to destroy it.
