The snake became a popular symbol in the United States through the efforts of Benjamin Franklin, which used the animal to create a sense of unity in the United States during the French and Indian War. During the Revolutionary War of the United States against the British Empire, the figure of the snake was associated with America, due to the animal's fierceness and courage to never back down when provoked or attacked. The word "tread" means "stepping, walking, trampling, crushing or injuring" in that sense. The sentence and the flag symbolize that if attacked there will be a strike back instead of submission. A proud emblem of American history and mentality that remains inspiring to many.

The coiled rattlesnake figure is still a strong symbol of personal freedom protection and resisting oppression, it is commonly utilized by political groups and even in popular culture.
