Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Plan of Union crafted at the Albany Congress sought to create a united colonial government, with a president-general appointed by the British crown and a grand council made up of representatives from each colony. It was not implemented by all eleven colonies nor did it lead to the creation of an American Army under colonial control. The plan did not reject seeking Native American allies against the French, but it did not specifically call for it either. It also did not call on the French and English to negotiate a peace settlement, though the Albany Congress did attempt to negotiate a treaty with the Iroquois.
