What was the first attempt to unify the 13 british American colonies?

albany of union


Why was the American Revolution inevitie?

The American Revolutionary War was avoidable. The British American colonies were a source of great wealth to England and the colonies. For the most part, the 13 colonies were part of and loyal to the British empire and gave Britain a special significant advantage. The colonies were highly populated with peoples whose heritage was mostly Great Britain. Britain's other colonies did not have a large number of British loyal, English speaking colonists. If Britain had realized the potential wealth and power they could have retained, they never would have given up their attempt to end the American revolution. With that said, Britain could have vastly increased their world wide power by treating the 13 colonies with extra special care and representation in the British parliament. They should have bent over backwards to keep the colonists "happy". If done so, the colonies would have remained loyal and most of the power that was amassed in the expanding westward colonial movement would have been Great Britain's source of farmlands, industry and added military power.
