Christopher Gadsden: the Sam Adams of the South

We’re exploring the life of one of our state’s most passionate seekers of American liberty – Christopher Gadsden. You may have heard his name before, because various areas and streets across the state bear his name - even a wharf in Charleston. And you may also know that he created the famous Gadsden flag, with the coiled snake that says Don’t Tread on Me. We’re going to talk more about that flag and his life as an outspoken merchant and leader when tensions with England were at their height.
