One of my favorite symbols of our struggle for freedom, is "Join or Die". Today, May 9th, the disjointed snake was created by Benjamin Franklin. How cool is this!
 

"On this day in 1754, Benjamin Franklin published one of the most famous cartoons in history: the Join or Die woodcut. Franklin’s art carried significant importance at the time and is considered an early masterpiece of political messaging."

Franklin’s “Join or Die” cartoon was so effective it rallied the colonies and influenced politics throughout two wars.
