The Culpeper flag is a historical American Revolutionary War flag featuring a coiled rattlesnake ready to strike. It displays the phrases "The Culpeper Minute Men," "Liberty or Death," and "Don't Tread on Me". This flag was used by the Culpeper Minute Men, a militia from Culpeper County, Virginia, to symbolize their fierce resistance against British rule.  

Design: The flag is typically a white background with a black design showing a coiled rattlesnake. 

Slogans: It incorporates multiple revolutionary slogans: 

"The Culpeper Minute Men": At the top. 

"Liberty or Death": On either side of the snake, a quote from Patrick Henry. 

"Don't Tread on Me": Below the snake, a message of defiance against oppression. 

Symbolism: The rattlesnake was a potent symbol of American resistance, as it only strikes when threatened and is an indigenous American creature. 

Historical Context: The flag was used by the Culpeper Minute Men, a volunteer militia formed in 1775, during the early years of the American Revolution. It is similar in theme to other revolutionary-era flags, such as the Gadsden Flag. 

 It was a precursor to the Stars and Stripes, representing the colonies' desire for independence while still acknowledging their Anglo American  heritage.
