Here's some incredible pro-independence propaganda from the American Revolution

This parchment was used to call American patriots to arms as the war heated up.

Benjamin Franklin drew this now-famous cartoon of a disjointed snake in 1754 — telling fragmented colonies that if they didn't join the fight, they would perish.

Franklin also designed this print as a part of his campaign to get the Stamp Act repealed.

This copper engraving by Paul Revere is a sensationalized depiction of the "Boston Massacre" from 1770, and rallied anti-British sentiment among the revolutionaries five years before the start of the war.

Propaganda came from the British as well. This 1774 print by Philip Dawe depicted the tarring-and-feathering of Boston Commissioner of Customs John Malcom by the revolutionaries.

This print, called "The Bostonians in Distress," appeared in a London newspaper in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party

The images used to rally support during the Revolutionary War inspired wartime propaganda for generations to come.
