"Join Or Die" Patriotic Ball Cap

The phrase "Join, or Die" is historically significant and associated with a famous political cartoon attributed to Benjamin Franklin. The cartoon was first published in Franklin's newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette, on May 9, 1754. It depicts a snake cut into eight segments, each segment representing one of the American colonies or regions at that time. The message was clear: the colonies must join together to survive against common threats, particularly during the French and Indian War.
