Neither Master Nor Slave Embroidered Patches
$14.00
The phrase "Neither Master Nor Slave" was once a rallying cry for abolitionists, radical republicans, and individualist thinkers who rejected domination in all its forms—whether from kings, slaveholders, or bureaucrats. This eagle clutching a broken chain is drawn from 19th-century American resistance art, where eagles often appeared on coins, seals, and medals as symbols of personal sovereignty and liberation.
The design echoes abolitionist medallions and Civil War-era tokens that showed broken shackles and free eagles. But this version goes further: the eagle holds the chain in both its beak and claw, making it clear that the chains weren’t handed to it—they were broken by it. The message is simple: no rulers, no servants. Just liberty.
