In 1754 delegates to the Albany Convention proposed a Union of all the colonies based upon a plan established by Benjamin Franklin. Many items were discussed at the Convention and once a plan was agreed upon, the Albany Plan of Union was sent to all the colonies and to Great Britain's Board of Trade. Almost all of the colonies rejected the plan. The colonies, at that time, were concerned about a central government that would have too much power. Most of the colonists were provincial in outlook, jealous of other colonies, and dead set against any central taxing policy. During the war, the Albany Plan served as a rough draft for the Articles of Confederation.
