Comment: This political cartoon was published by Benjamin Franklin in his Pennsylvania Gazette as part of his effort to get the colonies to join together into a loose confederation he called the plan of union. It would have provided limited leadership/coordination on issues like war with the Native Americans or delivering the mail. This effort failed since the colonies in 1754 still did not feel the common bond they would about 20 years later.
