Thanks for the additional info. Where did you find out about this? Is there a good book or something? It’s all very interesting.
As far as rallies flying the Gadsden, they’re also flying the America flags.
I get what you’re saying, and I’m not one to make overt politic statements IRL in public, like flying any flag besides the US and maybe state.
Again, to me and a lot of people the Gadsen represents rebels against tyrants. It even represents that to the objectionable people who use it. However, the idea of rebelling in order to upheld human rights is fundamental to the US.
I am not willing to throw out the ideals or the iconography just because I disagree with the current (and confederate) rebels. I certainly agree with the flags original use when the US gained its independence.
So while I won’t be publicly flying the flag because I don’t like to make public political statements, I might just hang it somewhere privately. IRL conversations like these are incredibly valuable to me and I believe in the general sentiment of the Gadsden.
