He is trying to say that the colonies needed to unify and the Albany plan was to do that.

Before this proposal. the only existing government was individual forms of government that each colonial had established such as; the Mayflower Compact and House of Burgess. The Albany Plan would allow all colonials to function as one and it would dictate the taxes, colonial defense, and certain laws. The main significance is that this proposal was the first move toward unified government.
In 1754 delegates to the Albany Convention proposed a Union of all the colonies based upon a plan established by Benjamin Franklin. Many items were discussed at the Convention and once a plan was agreed upon, the Albany Plan of Union was sent to all the colonies and to Great Britain's Board of Trade. Almost all of the colonies rejected the plan. The colonies, at that time, were concerned about a central government that would have too much power. Most of the colonists were provincial in outlook, jealous of other colonies, and dead set against any central taxing policy. During the war, the Albany Plan served as a rough draft for the Articles of Confederation.
Benjamin Harrison saw six new states join the union. The states were North Dakota (1889), South Dakota (1889), Montana (1889), Washington(1889), Idaho (1890) and Wyoming (1890).
the plan was the first step toward uniting the colonies a purpose of the Union was to organize and act together for common defense the famous 'join or die' political cartoon spawns from this fails to come together, but it was an attempt at uniting to stop native americans colonies rejected it because they thought it was too restricting, and england didn't want to give them that much power anyways

He thought that because he didnt want to loose, or have them die . Hence his cartoon "Join or Die"
It encourage colonies to unite saying join or die
the theme of join or die was that is you dont join the constitution you would die.
It was a Ben Franklin generated political cartoon. It was basically a snake divided into 13 sections representing the 13 American colonies. The join or die referred to all the colonies joining together to create a confederation. The confederation colonies would be stronger economically and militarily than any colony standing alone.
just as benjamin franklin tried to bring the colonies togrther with his albany plan pontiac wanted native american groups to unite to fight the britishn i think that the answer
The "Join , or Die" cartoon was a creation of Benjamin Franklin .
Benjamin Franklin created the idea for the JOIN or DIE phrase. He also created a picture of a snake clipped into pieces to explain this phrase. Ben Franklin was always coming up with Ideas for things, so it shouldn't surprised you that he created this.

The Albany Congress, also known as the Albany Conference, was a meeting of representatives of seven of the British North American colonies in 1754 (specifically, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island). Representatives met daily at Albany, New York from June 19 to July 11 to discuss better relations with the Indian tribes and common defensive measures against the French.
