Albany Plan of Union
Delegates from most of the northern colonies, as well as representatives from the Iroquois tribes met in Albany in June 1754. They met to establish a "Plan of the Union" and develop peace between the governments.

The Albany Plan of Union, proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1754, aimed to create a unified government for the Thirteen Colonies in North America. It suggested the establishment of a central governing body, composed of delegates from each colony, to manage common affairs such as defense, trade, and relations with Native Americans. The plan was intended to promote cooperation among the colonies in the face of external threats, particularly from the French and their Native allies during the French and Indian War. However, it was ultimately rejected by both colonial legislatures and the British government.
The colonists in the thirteen colonies were at least nominally Englishmen, and for 150 years, most did not deny allegiance to the British king. The colonial militias fought alongside the British during the French and Indian War (1754-1763). It was only after laws passed by Parliament in the wake of that war, and the increased efforts by Britain to control the internal affairs of the colonies, that the Americans sought to extend the limited independence that had long been allowed. The reason that the rebellion was not technically a "civil war" (even before the Declaration in 1776) is that the colonies were never adopted as an insular part of the British Kingdom, given representation in Parliament and all of the same legal considerations. Instead, like Canada and the later colonies in Australia and New Zealand, they remained a mercantile dominion under the Empire.
The purpose was to keep the Iroquois loyal to Great Britain.
