  • “Join Or Die,” America's First Political Cartoon: Benjamin Franklin and The
    “Join or Die,” America’s First Political Cartoon: Benjamin Franklin and the First Plan for Union Courtesy of Library of Congress On May 9, 1754, Benjamin Franklin printed the first political cartoon in American history, a woodcut of a severed snake entitled “Join, or Die,” in his newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette . Franklin’s cartoon depicted the British North American colonies as a snake cut into eight segments, with each segment designated with an initial of a separate colony or a region as in the case of New England. An editorial discussing the “disunited state” of the colonies accompanied the cartoon, clearly suggesting that in light of the clear and present danger posed by the French and Native Americans to their security, the colonies faced a critical decision—to unite as a collective unit to repulse the enemy or remain disunited and suffer an inevitable death. The division of the segments of the snake reveals the extent to which Franklin and other intellectuals believed that the colonies of British North America were divided over the decision to go to war with the French and Native Americans for control of the land west of the Appalachian Mountains. Despite this division, it was a well-known superstition of the era that a snake, which had been cut into pieces, would come back to life if each of the pieces were put together before sunset. The caption, “Join, or Die,” implied that the colonies should unite or be exterminated by the French and their Indian allies. Franklin’s cartoon was widely used as a header for newspapers in its time.

  • Now Have Taken up the Hatchet Against Them”: Braddock’S Defeat and the Martial Liberation of the Western Delawares
    We “Now Have Taken up the Hatchet against Them”: Braddock’s Defeat and the Martial Liberation of the Western Delawares N 1755 WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA became the setting for a series of transforming events that resonated throughout the colonial world of INorth America. On July 9, on the banks of the Monongahela River— seven miles from the French stronghold of Fort Duquesne—two regi- ments of the British army, together with over five companies of colonial militia, suffered a historic mauling at the hands of a smaller force of French marines, Canadian militia, and Great Lakes Indians. With nearly one thousand casualties, the defeat of General Edward Braddock’s com- mand signified the breakdown of British presence on the northern Appalachian frontier. This rout of British-American forces also had an immense effect on the future of Indians in the Ohio Country, particularly the peoples of western Pennsylvania referred to as the Delawares. I would like to thank the anonymous readers and my teachers and trusted colleagues, Dr. Holly Mayer of Duquesne University and Dr. Mary Lou Lustig, emeritus West Virginia University, for their constructive criticisms and helpful suggestions as I worked through the revision process for this article. THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Vol. CXXXVII, No. 3 ( July 2013) 228 RICHARD S. GRIMES July From late October 1755 through the spring of 1756, Delaware war parties departing from their principal western Pennsylvania town of Kittanning and from the east in the Susquehanna region converged on the American backcountry. There they inflicted tremendous loss of life and cataclysmic destruction of property on the settlements of Pennsylvania and Virginia.

  • Benjamin Franklin (10 Vols., New York, 1905- 7), 5:167
    The American Aesthetic of Franklin's Visual Creations ENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S VISUAL CREATIONS—his cartoons, designs for flags and paper money, emblems and devices— Breveal an underlying American aesthetic, i.e., an egalitarian and nationalistic impulse. Although these implications may be dis- cerned in a number of his visual creations, I will restrict this essay to four: first, the cartoon of Hercules and the Wagoneer that appeared in Franklin's pamphlet Plain Truth in 1747; second, the flags of the Associator companies of December 1747; third, the cut-snake cartoon of May 1754; and fourth, his designs for the first United States Continental currency in 1775 and 1776. These four devices or groups of devices afford a reasonable basis for generalizations concerning Franklin's visual creations. And since the conclusions shed light upon Franklin's notorious comments comparing the eagle as the emblem of the United States to the turkey ("a much more respectable bird and withal a true original Native of America"),1 I will discuss that opinion in an appendix. My premise (which will only be partially proven during the fol- lowing discussion) is that Franklin was an extraordinarily knowl- edgeable student of visual symbols, devices, and heraldry. Almost all eighteenth-century British and American printers used ornaments and illustrations. Many printers, including Franklin, made their own woodcuts and carefully designed the visual appearance of their broad- sides, newspapers, pamphlets, and books. Franklin's uses of the visual arts are distinguished from those of other colonial printers by his artistic creativity and by his interest in and scholarly knowledge of the general subject.

First, the Department proposed to make its secondary ambient air quality standards for sulfur dioxide consistent with those of the U. So Environmental Protection Agency, which in 1973 repealed the secondary sulfur dioxide standards for the annual and twenty-four hour time periods. Second, the Department released in 1975 two reports evaluating the effect on ambient air quality of the burning of higher sulfur fuel by utility companies and businesses respectively. The progress that has been made in cleaning Connecticut’s air has been the result of cooperative efforts of state and municipal agencies, the industrial community and private citizens° I appreciate the part that each individual and group has played in our air pollution control efforts. The summary indicates that the air pollutants which continue to be of most concern in Connecticut are automotive related: ozone and carbon monoxide. I urge each of you to continue to participate with us in ongoing efforts to attain and maintain clean, healthful air.
