Benjamin Franklin is commonly attributed with saying "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately" during the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. He was emphasizing the importance of unity and collaboration among the members of the Continental Congress, as they faced the potential consequences of treason for their actions.

Can i have more information on Benjamin Franklin's statement Gentlemen you must all hang together or else you shall hang separately?

I am not sure if that was the exact quotation. I'm pretty sure it was something like "we must all hang together, or most assuredly, we shall all hang separately." It was spoken in response to a comment by John Hancock at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, who said they must all hang together, stressing that there must be unanimity in support of independence. Franklin's quote was a play on those words, joking that if they did not hang together, they would be hanged separately for treason.

What does gentlemen you must all hang together or else you shall hang separately mean?

This famous quote is a kind of pun, which depends upon two different interpretations of the word hang. To hang together is to act cooperatively, to be loyal to a group. Whereas, the ominous phrase hang separately means that the members of this group, if they fail to act cooperatively, will in due course be arrested, convicted, and executed by hanging.
