Answer: To show that if the colonies were not together, they would be weaker.

Step-by-step explanation:

The disjoined snake refers to a political cartoon called "Join, or Die" that was attributed to Benjamin Franklin. It was first published by the Gazette on May 9, 1754. It was a picture that represented thr colonial union produced by a British colonist in America. The image was a snake cut into eighths, with each segment representing one of the American colonies or regions.
