What does you must hang together or must assuredly we will hang separately mean?

Answer:

When Benjamin Franklin said "We must all hang together, or we shall assuredly all hang separately", he was saying that the Founding Fathers needed to cooperate to win the Revolutionary War. Because if they lost the war, they would all be executed by hanging as traitors.
