The animals divide in to two factions. What slogans did they come up with?

Shortly
after the animals permanently oust Mr. Jones and his workers from the farm during the Battle of
the Cowshed,andbegin making plans for the farm's future. Snowball draws elaborate plans for a
windmill in hopes of mechanizing the outdated farm. Snowball plans for the windmill to provide
the farm with electricity, which will dramatically improve conditions and bring the animals into
the industrial age. The majority of animals are astonished and excited about Snowball's plans
for a windmill. However, Napoleon opposes Snowball's agenda and believes that food production is
the most pressing concern for the farm at the moment. Napoleon tells the animals that if they
spend their time building a windmill they will surely starve to death. The animals then split
into two factions supporting either Snowball or Napoleon.writes,


"The animals formed themselves into two factions under the slogan, "Vote for
Snowball and the three-day week" and "Vote for Napoleon and the full mange."
Benjamin was the only animal who did not side with either faction. He refused to believe either
that food would become more plentiful or that the windmill would save work. Windmill or no
windmill, he said, life would go on as it had always gone onthat is, badly" (18).


During a Sunday vote among the animals, Napoleon ends up chasing
Snowball off the farm and usurps power. He then steals Snowball's plans for the windmill and
commissions building to begin.
