THEIR RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER One of the most important features to contemplate in the history of our country, n Powell's Nullification and Secession in the United States, p. 102. 12 The Statesman's Manual, vol. I, p. 151. Concerning the American States 39 is the jealousy that has existed from time to time between different States and dif- ferent sections. Even before our national history begins we find these local jeal- ousies arising, and not only hindering trade and social intercourse, but e...ven pre- venting a combined defense against the depredations of the savage tribes. In 1754 a congress of commissioners from the different colonies met at Albany, for the purpose of concerting together with one another and with the friendly Indians upon measures of defense against the hos- tile Indians and the French. Benjamin Franklin brought forward a plan for uniting the colonies for defense and for some other purposes of general utility; but the plan was rejected by the colonial legislatures as likely to abridge their au- thorities, and by the British Board of Trade as likely to foster colonial inde- pendence ; 13 and when the struggle for independence was finally inaugurated, the reluctance to unite upon any definite pol- icy was a serious impediment to success.
