Sons of Liberty Original Texas Join or Die Flag 3×5 ft. Standard

Sons of Liberty background-

Liberty Flags were mentioned more and more in our historical records, as protests grew in the American Colonies before the Revolution. Sons of Liberty societies formed, and it became traditional to gather under an oak or other distinctive tree on the town green. They erected Liberty Poles which local authorities and Loyalists would, of course, try to chop these down. In one instance, after their Pole had been destroyed for the second time, the local Liberty Boys raised a replacement sheathed in iron. We know of examples of the Liberty Flags flying from New England down to Georgia.

Join or Die snake-

The Join or Die Flag is based on Benjamin Franklin’s illustration published to make the point that American colonies must stand together against tyranny otherwise none would survive alone.
