During Franklin’s era, there was myth that a severed snake would come back to life if the pieces were put together before sunset.

Answer:early American Colonies divided into eight segments.

Explanation: if you take a look, you can see that at the head of the sneak "NE" is New England, followed by "NY" New York, "NJ" New Jersey, "P" Pennsylvania, "M" Maryland, "V" Virginia, "NC" New Carolina and finally "SC" which is South Carolina. There were four New England colonies, but Flanklin put them together in order to stress the need for colonial unity.
