"Join or Die” is thought to be the first political cartoon advocating the unification of the 13 colonies. The cartoon - also known as “the cut-up snake” – was designed by Benjamin Franklin. It depicts a snake severed into pieces that symbolize the 13 colonies. Franklin wanted to put the stress on the importance and necessity of unity in time of war. It became an important symbol of American freedom during the American Revolution.
