In the movie “A Bugs Life” there is a message. The message is the same one that the elite bourgeois is using against Americans … and the rest of the civilized i.e. white culture, world. Everybody needs to understand that this message is real. It was first mentioned, as far as I know by Aesop, but was echoed throughout American History and was associated with the transition of the original colonies on their way to becoming the United States of America.
One of the first mentions I found in regard to American history was in “The Liberty Song” by John Dickinson who later became one of the signers of the United States Constitution.
“The Liberty Song” was written in 1768 and is the first known modern usage of the phrase "United we stand, divided we fall." The song was published in two Pennsylvania newspapers during the time sentiment for breaking the colonies away from England was rising. One line in the song is, “Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all! / By uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.” It became part of the anti-British rule rhetoric of the day.

Join, or Die, a 1754 political cartoon by Benjamin Franklin published in The Pennsylvania Gazette in Philadelphia, addresses the disunity of the Thirteen Colonies during the French and Indian War; several decades later, the cartoon resurfaced as one of the most iconic symbols in support of the American Revolution.
