Gadsden and Culpeper T-Shirts, Longsleeves, and Hoodys - Direct To Awesome Customers Dont Tread On Me Since colonial days, the rattlesnake has been used to portray the spirit of Americans. In 1774, Colonel Gadsden emphasized this by printing the legend "DONT TREAD ON ME" on his flag. The words swept the nation. The Culpeper Minutemen raised another defiant fist at the enemy by adding "LIBERTY OR DEATH" to Gadsden’s flag. The coiled snake might seem a strange symbol today, but it is effective.

"Americans have the right and advantages of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms" James Madison -The Federalist Papers America We founded Gadsden and Culpeper on October 1st 2001 outside of Albany, NY. Like all of us, angered by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, we adorned our homes with the Stars and Stripes to display our pride, unity and resilience. We added the Don’t Tread on Me flag alongside our USA Flags. Interest from our friends and family, neighbors, and strangers about the Gadsden flag made us realize: 1) People love the Gadsden Flag and it’s motto “Don’t Tread On Me” 2) A lot of people do not know about this American Historical Flag. 3) The availability of the “Don’t Tread on Me” flags/products is limited. We put our resources together and created our company with this goal in mind. “To be America’s Official Don’t Tread on Me Outfitter: by providing inspiring historical information, a wide variety quality products and excellent service.” We are extremely grateful to be able to play a role of “bringing back” the much needed Don’t Tread On Me spirit and attitude to our fellow patriots.
