The first confederation of the American colonies was the New England Confederation, established in 1643. Its primary purpose was to provide mutual defense against threats from Native American tribes and rival European powers, particularly the Dutch and the French. The confederation aimed to promote cooperation among the colonies of Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, Connecticut, and New Haven for collective security and governance. This early alliance laid the groundwork for future cooperation among the colonies leading up to the American Revolution.
