"JOIN, OR DIE”
In 1754 Benjamin Franklin drew this image of a severed snake to encourage the British colonies to unite against the threat posed by French and Indian forces. The design was inspired by a superstition that a sliced snake would revive if the pieces of its body were joined before sunset. The image, the first political cartoon to be published in an American newspaper, was widely circulated in 1754 and later during the American Revolution. A remarkably direct and simple cartoon, it reveals the beginning of a sense of national identity. Skillbuilder: Analyzing Political Cartoons 1. Why are there only eight segments of the snake? 2. Why do you think this image was so persuasive to colonists who may never have thought of the separate colonies as parts of a whole? |
