Question

What are some problems facing the albany congress

Answer 1

The Albany Congress (1754), also known as, "The Conference of Albany" was a meeting of representatives sent by the legislatures of seven of the nine northern British North American colonies. Representatives met daily at the Stadt Huys in Albany, New York from June 19 to July 11, 1754 to discuss better relations with the Native American tribes and common defensive measures against the French threat from Canada in the opening stage of the French and Indian War, the North American front of the Seven Years' War between Great Britain and France. Delegates did not have the goal of creating an American nation; rather, they were colonists with the more limited mission of pursuing a treaty with the Mohawk and other major Iroquois tribes.

Among the agendas for the convention, was a plan to replace provincial Indian Commissioners with a Royal Superintendant of Indian Affairs - which was aimed directly at the Albany Indian commissioners who were seen by the British as self-interested merchants whose core ambitions were antagonist to Imperial policy.

The Albany Congress met in Albany from June 19 to July 11, 1754. Holding daily meetings at the City Hall, official delegates from seven colonies considered strategies for Indian diplomacy and put forth the so-called Albany Plan of Union.

Unsure of its authority to participate, the province of New York sent only an unnofficial delegation which included Lieutenant Governor James De Lancey and two men with strong Albany connections, William Johnson and Peter Wraxall. The Mohawks and other Native groups were represented at the meetings as well
