We created 1776 United to evoke a sense of patriotism found in our forefathers. Most have forgotten to ask themselves not what their country can do for them, but what they can do for their country. Our dream is to inspire a new wave of patriotism that might lead to the next Greatest Generation. We aim for the clothing we create to embody the many chapters of American history. Each shirt is a cotton reminder of who we are, where we live, and where we're going. When you wear one of our shirts, you're letting people know that you're not afraid to love your country; you're not ashamed of being an American, you're proud to be an American. Not costume history. The real thing. The Moultrie flag that flew before there was a country to fly it for. The Whiskey Rebellion, when the first Americans to test the new government were the same men who had just fought for it. Join or Die, cut into eight pieces by a printer in Philadelphia who understood that a divided country is a dead one.
