Political Empowerment

Shaping of Canada Today Canada is the second-largest country in the world. It has an area of almost square kilometres. It is made up of ten provinces and three territories. Canada became a country on July 1 st, 1867.

Shaping of Canada In the 1500s explorers from Europe came to North America to claim lands. They realized that this land was rich in resources. Soon settlement began, with people seeking a new life in the new world. The two European countries that figured the most in North America were Britain and France.

Why Confederation? In the 1860s the British colonies were facing many different kinds of problems. One solution for all of these was for the colonies to come together to form one country. These are the problems that led to Confederation:

#1: Political problems: The Province of Canada was made into the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The government of the Province of Canada did not run smoothly because the English-speaking and French- speaking halves had different ideas about how things should be run.

#2: Economic problems In order for their economies to do well, the colonies needed to be able to sell their goods to other markets. At this time there were very few places that they could sell to. One solution was to bring all the colonies together. In this way they could more easily sell their goods to each other.

#3: Military problems America had fought Britain to gain its independence. Britain supported the South in the American Civil War. The North won the war and was angry at Britain for helping the South. Many Americans wanted to take over all of what is now Canada.

#3: Military problems Meanwhile, Britain didn't want to have to pay for the cost of defending its colonies. It decided to encourage the colonies to join together, because the United States would be less likely to attack Canada if it were a self- governing country rather than separate colonies of Britain. The fear of the United States helped to strengthen the call for Confederation.

On The Road to Confederation There were 3 conferences that led to Confederation #1: The Charlottetown Conference, The politicians from the Province of Canada convinced the politicians from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island to consider a larger union. #2: The Quebec Conference, During this conference the leaders had to work out how the new country would be run. #3: The London Conference, They came up with a final agreement. The document they created was called the British North America Act.
