Question

This is a political cartoon drawn by Benjamin Franklin. What outcome was Franklin advocating for with the cartoon?

Answer 1

Answer:

B.To persuade the colonies to stand united in the French and Indian War.

C.To convince the colonies to join the cause of independence.

Explanation:

The outcome Benjamin Franklin was advocating for with the political cartoon is "to persuade the colonies to stand united in the French and Indian War. And to convince the colonies to join the cause of independence."

This is evident in the cartoon which was titled "Join or Die" which depicts the American colonies, such that in disunity, or without cooperation they would be defeated.

The cartoon was originally made during the French and Indian War to call for American colonies to join together to manage the Indian relation and defense against France otherwise they would be affected by the French in the long run.

Again, the same political cartoon was later utilized to motivate the American colonies to join the cause of independence during the American Revolutionary War.
