Answer:

Confederation

Step-by-step explanation:

The New England Confederation formed in the 17th century between the New England colonies. The main purpose of this alliance was to unite all the New England colonies by military support, to fight against the Native Indians, the Dutch, and the French. The reason for the confederation was the result of the Pequot War of 1637. The colonies who entered in the alliance were Plymouth, New Haven, Connecticut, and Massachusetts Bay.
