Write a paragraph that summarizes the Albany Plan of Union, including the problems it was meant to address and the response it received among the colonies.

The Albany Plan of Union was meant to unite the thirteen colonies into a union with a federal government. It was the predecessor of the Articles of Confederation. It was meant to address the issues of taxing and protection of colonies. It wasn't well received since the colonists were still afraid of a central taxing institution and were on the verge of a war.
