England the Origin of the "Fake Snake" Navy Jack Flag

In the article by flag expert Peter Ansoff is discussed the possibility that the prone position of the Snake over the Stripes of the Sons of Liberty flag was meant to demean the image of the Snake in resistance.

Well to know that on its belly in the dust and dirt, the Rattlesnake is in Retreat, and the once thought defiant motto, "Don't Tread on Me!" becomes a plaintive plea, "(Please) Don't Tread on Me!" as the snake slithers away from the fray...

Let us Americans never slither away from the fray, from the fight for freedom, and the pursuit of Truth... and the Love of Liberty!

So, write your elected servants in Congress, your Representative and Senators, to ask that the Navy serve the Truth of our American History, and remove the Fake Snake Navy Jack Flag from the bow of our Naval Ships, and replace it with the true First Navy Flag, the Washington Cruisers Flag, the Liberty Tree Flag!

"Captain" AND Commander - in - Chief George Washington

The orders of the Continental Congress to George Washington, on page 5, are quoted:
“to command all the continental forces raised, or to be raised, for the defense of American liberty.”

“If the British could not be driven out of Boston, perhaps they could be starved out, which meant stopping their flow of supplies. But Washington had a more immediate problem – an urgent need to equip a threadbare army…” writes author Chester Hearn, on page 7.

“What Washington needed was a navy, but there was none, and the Continental Congress doubted if one would be needed.” on page 3 are some well worded phrases.

Later on the orders continue, “all particulars cannot be foreseen, nor positive instructions for such emergencies so beforehand given…many things must be left to your prudent and discreet management, as occurrences may arise.”

“Washington wanted a few fast vessels… And he wanted his schooners mobilized without delay.

As Congress labored in chambers, debating the practicality of creating and financing a navy, the general decided the matter for them.

He pressed his schooners to sea in the fall of 1775, and prizes began to flow.”

Washington wrote reflectively, “A fortunate capture of an ordnance ship would give new life to the camp, and an immediate turn to the issue of this campaign.” page 7 from the book
"George Washington’s Schooners"
published by The United States Naval Institute Press in 1995
written by Chester G. Hearn (LoC#E271.H43 1995).

Flag Expert Dr. Whitney Smith says:

In the definitive article debunking the "Fake Snake" flag written by president Peter Ansoff in the RAVEN, the journal of NAVA (association of flag experts), scholar Ansoff writes on Page 20:
Dr. Whitney Smith, founder and director of the Flag Research Center, has said of Admiral Preble’s work:
“…Original research is time-consuming and demanding and it’s easy to assume
that published sources are correct and can be trusted.

Those who have written books and articles or have created web sites about American flags have for the most part relied on work done by Preble.

As a result there is a constant repetition of misinformation that gives certain designs the impression of accuracy.”

And note: Admiral Preble TRIED to correct an error from 1872 to 1880, by removing his text about the "Fake Snake" Navy Flag, but due to expense, the book publisher used the old color plate and thereby perpetuated the myth of the "Don't Tread on Me" "Fake Snake" Flag.

"Tall and Tough as a Tree!"

My
boy, Bill !
he'll be tall
and tough as a tree,
will Bill !
Like a tree he'll grow
with his head held high
and his feet planted firm
on the ground.
And you won't see
nobody dare to try to boss him
or toss him around !
No pot-bellied,
baggy-eyed
bully'll
toss him
around !
