Description: The segmented snake with the slogan "join or die" was an early american patriotic symbol symbolizing a divided America. His purpose was to encourage all colonial Americans to unite against British Empire Rule. Later the Snake simbol would become the libertarian ideology emblem in the Gasden Flag, to appeal for personal freedom and individual rights
Description: The rattlesnake symbol of the Gasden Flag has become the libertarian ideology emblem, to appeal for personal freedom and individual rights. In words of Benjamin Franklyn about the rattlesnake “She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage.”…”but their wounds however small, are decisive and fatal:—Conscious of this, she never wounds til she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of stepping on her.—Was I wrong, Sir, in thinking this a strong picture of the temper and conduct of America?”
Description: The Join or Die drawing of a Snake, is the earliest known pictorial representation of colonial union produced by an American colonist in Colonial America. It is a woodcut showing a snake cut into eighths, with each segment labeled with the initials of one of the American colonies or regions. New England was represented as one segment, rather than the four colonies it was at that time. Delaware was not listed separately as it was part of Pennsylvania. Georgia, however, was omitted completely. Thus, it has eight segments of a snake rather than the traditional 13 colonies.The poster focused solely on the colonies that would go-on to make up the present-day United States, due to their shared identities as Americans.
