The video discusses the Albany Congress of 1754, the first attempt at unified action by Britain's North American colonies. The congress aimed to improve relations with the Iroquois Confederation and discuss joint colonial safety efforts. Benjamin Franklin proposed the Albany Plan for a unified colonial government, which was approved by delegates but rejected by colonial assemblies and England. The video explores the significance of the congress as a precursor to later colonial unity and questions if the Albany Plan's approval could have altered history.
