Historical Roots: Adopted by the Culpeper Minute Men, a Virginia militia formed in the early days of the American Revolution, the flag emerged as a symbol of the colonists' resolve to resist British encroachments on their rights. The coiled rattlesnake, a creature indigenous to the American continent, became a potent metaphor for the colonies' readiness to defend themselves. To his flanks, Virginia militia's organizer, Patrick Henry's most famous quote, "Liberty or Death" that was added for inspiration.
