Description:

The Albany Plan of Union was a proposal introduced by Benjamin Franklin in 1754 during the early stages of the French and Indian War, aiming to unite the thirteen British colonies for their collective defense. Although the plan was not accepted by the colonies or the British government, it was significant as a precursor to concepts of colonial unity and cooperation that would become central during the American Revolution.
