Answer:
The correct answer is 1) The British sought the aid of their North American colonies to fight the French.
Explanation:
The Albany Congress, held between June 11 - July 11, 1754 in Albany, New York, brought together representatives from seven of the British Thirteen Colonies in North America. The delegates, under the auspices of the British Board of Trade, gathered together to discuss plans regarding the security of the colonies, which had been threatened by the French colony of Canada and their Indian allies.
Relations between Britain and France had been worsening, and <u>the British sought the aid of its North American colonies to fight the French</u>, in what is considered the opening stages of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). As part of the security proposals, Benjamin Franklin presented the Albany Plan, proposing a unified government for the Thirteen Colonies. While the plan was rejected, the Albany Congress and the plan itself left a lasting legacy, as they would become blueprints for the future Continental Congresses and the American Revolutionary War.
