Why Confederation A Closer Look

1867 ; some of the colonies want to join together = Confederation. Province of Canada (East & West), NS, and NB Who had yet to join?

Two Choices Would each colony have more economic and political power if it took charge of its own affairs? OR Would the colonies do best if they all worked together? What do you think?

The Opinions Nova Scotia & New Brunswick: the premiers, Tupper and Tilley were pro-confederation. PEI: Not…. Sure…. Province of Canada: Uniting the English and the French (East & West, AKA Quebec and Ontario) into one was not going well. Hoping if the joined Confederation, they could be separate from each other, but part of one, large political organization. Newfoundland: not invited to Charlottetown Conference due to location and assumption of lack of interest. By the time they were invited, didn’t have time to select delegates and arrange transportation.

The Conferences The Charlottetown Conference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBGNEJpznNE The Quebec Conference and the Seventy-Two Resolutions: All attended, including NFLD. Formal decision by the group – the Seventy-Two Resolutions. http://www.canadahistoryproject.ca/1867/#

WHY CONFEDERATION? Threat from the US Trade Need for More Railways Easier to protect as one, large entity Trade Reciprocity trade with the States ended, which hurt Canada’s economy Could not depend on US any longer Need for More Railways Railways existed, but were not connected Demand For More Land More settlers, need for more land CHOOSE ONE COLONY TO FOCUS ON AND COMPLETE ‘Debating Confederation’
