The Hanover Associators Flag

This flag is associated with a Pennsylvania militia formed in 1774, whose members declared that “in the event of Great Britain attempting to force unjust laws upon us by strength of arms, our cause we leave to Heaven and our rifles.” For these Pennsylvania country riflemen, the right to bear arms was not symbolic—it was central to their defense of liberty.

To ensure their message was unmistakable, the flag features an armed rifleman and the bold motto “Liberty or Death.” The imagery made clear that resistance to tyranny would be met with determination and force if necessary. The rifle, prominently displayed, reflects the militia’s readiness to defend their rights and freedoms at the dawn of the American Revolution.

This flag stands as a powerful symbol of early American resolve, independence, and the willingness of ordinary citizens to take up arms in defense of liberty.
