During that time, the American colonists were divided on whether or not to risk fighting the French for control of the lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. Franklin had been chosen as a delegate for an upcoming conference in Albany, New York, to deal with a combined threat to the British from French and Indian forces, and the cartoon was his first attempt to unite the colonies against the French.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven though the cartoon was published long before the American Revolution, the illustration was later reused to promote independence from Britain.

You and your team will create your own “snake” from sandbags connected with carabiners, and then join together to carry it for the distance of your choice (3-5 miles). Ben Franklin’s snake had 8 segments, the length and weight of your team’s snake is up to you (we recommend 3-6 sandbags based upon the size of your club). As you move out together, you’ll need to coordinate a rotation of participants so that each person contributes effort throughout the ruck.
