Define Don't Tread On Me Meaning

Don't Tread On Me
famously defiant motto of colonel christopher gadsden, self-described illustrious soldier, statesman and slave owner of 18th century lore. in reference to the anyone whose identical motives conflicted with gadsden achieving his ends, specifically the british in the person of king george III, this bloated fraud invoked the venomous viper as a depiction of same. lately reprised by the great gullible mass of what's left of the working classes in impotent complaint of their own tragic, irredeemable peonage. in current terms "don't tread on me" translates to "retread" and might as well show the imprint of bandag.

Don't Tread On Me
A simple phrase that can be found on the Gadsden flag, and on the back windows of cars and trucks across this beautiful nation. It stands for personal freedoms and liberties, and is a message to anyone that tries to take them away.

I have a "Don't Tread on Me" sticker on the back window of my truck. And no I am not a racist, I don't hate gay people, and I don't want to secede from the Union. God Bless.
