This was the start of what they called the “second American Revolution”.
This is why the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag was visible in the chaos a symbol of resistance that dates back to the (first) American Revolution and was resurrected a decade ago by Republican Tea Party activists.

These rights are fused together with the more vague yet “unalienable” rights enunciated in the 1776 Declaration of Independence chief among them being the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”.
