Answer:
The advantage that French-American colonists had over the British-American Colonists was that French-Americans worked in unified manner, they had one Direction, on Council, and one Purse, whereas, British-American colonies were disunited.
Explanation:
The French and Indian War began in 1754 over the dispute of having territorial gain of the heart of North America, that is Ohio River Valley. Ohio River Valley was the center of trade and settlements. But the issue was under which colony does this area come, French colonies or American Colonies. 
During the War, the French-American colonists had upper-hand over the British-American Colonists in a way that they were unified. The French-American colonists fought under '<em>one Direction, one Council, and one Pulse.' </em>Whereas, the colonies of British-America were unconnected and disunited. This disunity among the colonies was portrayed by Benjamin Franklin in his cartoon 'Join or die' which predicted that if British-American colonies will not fight in unity there will be much loss.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The labor history of the United States describes the history of organized labor, US labor law, and more general history of working people, in the United States. Beginning in the 1930s, unions became important allies of the Democratic Party. Some historians question why a Labor Party did not emerge in the United States, in contrast to Western Europe.[1]
The nature and power of organized labor is the outcome of historical tensions among counter-acting forces involving workplace rights, wages, working hours, political expression, labor laws, and other working conditions. Organized unions and their umbrella labor federations such as the AFL–CIO and citywide federations have competed, evolved, merged, and split against a backdrop of changing values and priorities, and periodic federal government intervention.
