Explanation:

Join or die was the political cartoon that was one of the earliest work of pictorial representation of the colonial union produced by British Colonialists. It is a woodcut painting in which a snakes is shown cut into eight pieces. It first appeared with the editorial written by Benjamin Franklin and was used to make the point about the colonial unity. It served as the symbol of colonial freedom during the revolutionary war.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
