The History List®'s original design adapts Ben Franklin's famous illustration, "Join, or Die," with a different image on each side of the scarf.
The original illustration in Franklin’s The Pennsylvania Gazette, May 9, 1754, was a warning to the colonies, urging them to unite against the French and Native American allies, and later used as an appeal to the states during the Revolutionary War. The rattlesnake segments are labeled, S.C., N.C., V., M., P., N.J., N.Y., and N.E. See additional information below.
