During the African slave trade, South Carolina received more slaves than any other mainland colony. As many as 260,000 enslaved Africans entered South Carolina from 1670 to 1808. Most of those slaves disembarked here, at Gadsden’s Wharf, located on the Cooper River in Charleston, between today’s Calhoun and Laurens Streets and from the harbor to East Bay Street.

The wharf complex was built in the 1760s and 1770s by Christopher Gadsden, a prosperous merchant a Revolutionary War leader known today for having designed the Don’t Tread on Me flag known as Gadsden’s Banner.

(Emphasis added. Source.)

The leading anti‐London rebel, Christopher Gadsden—like Laurens, his fellow Carolinian—was immersed in the issue of slavery. He was a trailblazer in terms of forging “white unity”—bonds forged between and among European settlers across class and, at times, ethnic and religious lines—in the face of a [black] majority.

It was a variation of the longstanding argument that the—actual—cutthroat threat from Africans should be sufficient for such unity, that is, that the prospect of slave insurrection should remind the white poor of their presumed identity of interests with their racial brethren, who happened to be filthily wealthy planters and merchants. Gadsden’s view was that the élite should at least be seen as fulfilling obligations to those who were less affluent.

Without this maneuver, he said, it would be “little less than madness” to keep importing Africans.⁸⁸ Thus, in South Carolina near the same time, far‐reaching apprehension was expressed about the presence of so many Africans, referred to by one observer as “an Internal Enemy that one day may be the total Ruin” of the province.⁸⁹

Little is said, though, about the Gadsden flag’s ties to the Confederates, who embraced it in their own fight against federal authority. From 1860 to 1862, the battle over Gadsden symbols resembled modern meme wars. Ultimately, the Union sacrificed Gadsden’s rattler — because Confederates had irreparably tainted it.

Wtf I wear boots that look just like that? Based

It’s…not even disrespecting capitalism. It is disrespecting nazis, cops, and fascists (I know I said the same thing three times). I am going to guess they aren’t exactly pro-capitalism either, but this image doesn’t really mention it.

Imagine a bunch of very credulous peasants verbally defending their king because it is their throne.
