Benjamin Franklin, famous for writing the Declaration of Independence, created a symbol for an idea he had. Trying to express his idea through a threatening appearance yet it never truly caught on to the colonies.
A snake, cut up into 8 different parts. Each part labeled with a different colony at the time. The snake was dead, labeled at the bottom with “Join, or die.” Benjamin Franklin wanted the colonies to come together, have the same rules and laws, overall peace and ending war was his main idea. He proposed this idea at a meeting he had called, different representatives from each colony arriving to it to either approve or disapprove his idea. Benjamin Franklin’s idea declined, nobody in the meeting going along with it.
