List of Prime Ministers of the Confederation of North America

Sir Benjamin Franklin (Unity Government): 1766-1775[1]

[1]After the Eight Years War, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania journeyed to Great Britain to meet with William Pitt the Elder on the possibility of uniting the American colonies in a political union. With King Frederick I, a Whig ally, on the throne, Parliament was able to pass the British North America Union Act of 1765, the created a political union among the colonies of Nova Scotia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, complete with an elected parliament.

The next year, the new Confederation of North America held its first parliamentary election, which was largely non-partisan. Benjamin Franklin, considered the "Father of the Confederation," served as the fledgling nation's first Prime Minister. He oversaw the passage of several acts, which included the purchase of Western Lands from the colonies, as well as the negotiation of peace with several Indian tribes. However, he conflicted with the Governor-General on the issue of creating an independent American Army.
