When Franklin drew the cartoon, many people mistakenly believed that if a snake were cut into pieces, the pieces could weave the

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
My caption for this renowned cartoon would be "Together, not divided, we stick to the end."
My explanation is this. I would like to convey the following message. It is together, the only way we will endure this difficult road. If we are divide we won't have the power to face the challenges of the future. The government of France wants the colonies divided to exert better control in the war. That is why we have to unite.
Benjamin Franklin draw the cartoon called "Joint or Die" in 1754. In the cartoon, Franklin wanted to convey the idea that it was not good for the colonies to be isolated. He invited the colonies to fight together against the French and the Indian tribes that support it.
