The Albany Congress was a group of people that planned to unionize under a more specific government, which began on June 19th, 1754. This was a plan to combine all of the colonies under one form of government, though it was never carried out. The state governments involved were New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The colonies decided that since war was hanging over their heads, they should cooperate with each other in case of attack. The symbol for this Union was usually the Join or Die snake, which was posted in newspapers, around cities, etc. This was propaganda to get people to agree with unionizing.

The French and Indian War really strained the relationship between Great Britain and the colonies. In the British's point of view, the colonists were inept militarily, were selfish, and didn't help enough with the war. In the colonists' point of view, the British troops and leaders were inadequate in navigating the terrain of America, and were quite proud of their contributions to the war. After the war, Great Britain began to control the colonies more, which the people inside the colonies didn't like. The tensions got to be too much, and eventually, the Revolutionary War happened, which shaped the rest of America.
