Explanation

The Albany Plan of Union proposed a central government to coordinate matters such as defense and relations with Native American nations. Many colonial assemblies worried that this government would take authority away from them, so they resisted the plan. Thus, the main reason was fear of losing power and authority to a central government; it did not make the colonies independent from Britain.
