Who was Gadsden?

Christopher Gadsden was an American Revolutionary War general and statesman from South Carolina.
According to South Carolina state congressional records, General Gadsden:

“Presented to the Congress an elegant standard, such as is to be used by the commander in chief of the American navy; being a yellow field, with a lively representation of a rattle-snake in the middle, in the attitude of going to strike, and these words underneath, ‘Don’t Tread on Me!’”

Gadsden’s flag looks like this:

We get our name from the Gadsden flag,
and have adapted it for our logo.
