Object Description
| Title | Albany papers. From: Memoirs of the life and writings of Benjamin Franklin... / written by himself to a late period, and continued to the time of his death, by his grandson, William Temple Franklin : comprising the private correspondence and public negociations of Dr. Franklin, and his select political, philosophical, and miscellaneous works, published from the original mss. |
| Subject | Albany Congress (1754 : Albany, N.Y.) ; United States -- Politics and government -- To 1775 ; Great Britain -- Colonies -- America -- History --18th century ; Indians of North America -- Government relations -- To 1789 ; Indians of North America -- History -- Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775 |
| Description | Benjamin Franklin's 'Albany Papers' came from a meeting of representatives from the colonies and the Iroquois tribes. The meeting was held in Albany, New York in 1754. Its goal was to gain solidarity among the parties in the face of the rising threats from the French that would soon become the French and Indian War. Franklin wrote a plan for uniting the several colonies. It was rejected at this time, both by the colonies and by the British, but its outlines are actually quite similar to what the Americans eventually adopted after the Revolutionary War. The version here includes some notes and explanations made by Franklin. |
