Understanding the creation of the United States has proved to be deceptively tricky for most of the literature; nationalism and ideology have stood in the way of studying it without mythologizing. The Emergence of Colonial Unity proposes that we study the early stages of American unity by examining the first episode of widespread intercolonial cooperation without Imperial intervention- The Stamp Act Congress. It uses the autocatalytic framework developed by Prof. Padgett, alongside the tools of social network analysis, complex scientific studies, prosopography, documentary research, and historiographical inquiry to present a different explanation for the emergence of colonial unity that transformed into the organizational novelty of the United States. It argues that intercolonial unity did not develop in a single episode, instead it was the culmination of individual autocatalytic networks inside the North American colonies -then moving towards neither independence nor unity- which were primed for tipping when the Stamp Act was passed, thereby leading to the wholesale tipping and folding of these networks when they converged in the Stamp Act Congress of 1765. The Emergence concludes that had it not been for the various manners in which the Stamp Act affected internal political and kinship networks -regardless of their position on it- set thirteen of the British colonies on path-dependency towards further intercolonial integration and eventually unity- not in one fell swoop but by emerging out of the complex system of North American networks.
