George Washington t shirts	George Washington On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. "As the first of every thing, in our situation will serve to establish a Precedent," he wrote James Madison, "it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles."

We have two t shirts that commemorate these courageous soldiers: Redcoats and Rabble, Minuteman of '76.

Gadsden Flag t shirts	Don't Tread On Me - The Gadsden Flag This flag has its roots in the mid 1700's when Ben Franklin used it as part of the first political cartoon ever published in America. The snake was divided into sections. The sections represented the individual colonies and the curves of the snake suggested the coastline. New England was combined into one section as the head of the snake. South Carolina was at the tail. By the 1770's the snake had become a defacto symbol of American defiance and was being used throughout the colonies. It was first used as a flag around 1775.
