    Ben Franklin's message was to stick together during war and fight as a team he shows the colonies disconnected and that hopefully they willp come together as one and fight as a team.

  3. Kitanna Gooden- I think Ben Franklin was trying to convey that the colonist must join together to defeat the British so that they can defeat and gain independence . You are either with them or against them.

    The message that Benjamin Franklin was trying to convey to the Americans thought the Join us or Die cartoon is that he thought that the three colonies were going to war which he was right about.

    Since the cartoon spelled out the word, "war" I think Ben Franklin was trying to convey that the colonists should unite as one and help the British fight against the French.

    "What message was Ben Franklin trying to convey to the American Colonies with his 1754 political cartoon, "Join, Or Die"?"

    The message Ben Franklin tried to convey to the American Colonies with his 1754 political cartoon, "Join, or Die" was for the eight colonies to join together and stand up for their beliefs and rights. The message was for the eight colonies to defend for themselves. The snake cut into eight different sections stood for the eight different colonies. The snake being cut up was inspired by the myth that if you were to cut a snake into sections, it would be able to live it came back together before dusk. This shows the message of joining, because if you don't join "before dusk" you will die not trying.

    I think the message that Ben Franklin was trying to convey is war and freedom. I think that because the way the snake was place it spell out WAR. Also the snake was broken into 8 different segments that had 8 colonies listed under it. Those colonies were South Carolina, North Carolina Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and New England. Also it said Join or die so therefore it conveys Violence, Hate, War

    Ben franklin was trying to convey the message to back the British against the french to their Defence in the french and indian war. He also conveyed that they need to work together unless they wanted to die or join the cartoon. Also so that they can go to war.

    The message Benjamin Franklin was trying to convey was to join the team or to be alone and neglected. The snake represents eight colonies which were split up. A snake together is more useful and deadly than a snake cut up. Benjamin was trying to say to team up and use each others ability

    I think the message Ben Franklin is trying to to convey about the "JOIN or DIE" cartoon picture is that all the colonies weren't together united one but split up just like is shown on the snake.If they didn't join or be on their side then that person would die.Like it says in the picture "join or die".

    I think the message that Ben Franklin tried to convey was the fact that if the colonies don't join together to conquer the French in war then the colonies will die
