In 1754, Benjamin Franklin created the now-famous “Join, or Die” symbol for his newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette. His drawing was meant to encourage the British-ruled thirteen colonies to unite against growing attacks from the French and their Native American allies. In an ironic twist, twelve years later Franklin published the symbol again during the American Revolution—this time as a rallying cry for unity in the pursuit of freedom and independence from British tyranny. Eighty years later, the image resurfaced during the Civil War. For over 250 years, the symbol has been edited, painted, and re-sketched, yet it continues to carry the same message: encouraging Americans of every race, color, and creed to unite to keep America “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” God bless the USA.
