4 Historical Geography In the 1860s, what we now know as Canada was comprised of British Crown Colonies and Rupert’s Land. The Canada of today looks very different from what it did in the 1860s. British Crown Colonies: P.E.I. New Brunswick Nova Scotia Newfoundland Canada East (United Province of Canada) Canada West (United Province of Canada) British Columbia

5 Problems Each of the colonies had a number of difficulties. Joining together (confederation) was a way to work together to try solving the problems. Some of the problems (factors) faced by the colonies include:

6 Desire for Westward Expansion
Political Deadlock government can’t agree on anything and therefore no laws can be passed Need for the Railway Colonies are not joined by railway (way to increase economic activities) Individual colonies cannot afford railway extension Desire for Westward Expansion Available farmland dwindling in United Province of Canada

7 Changing British Attitudes
Trade: Britain no longer giving colonies special treatment – Repeal of the Corn Act 1843 Defence: British taxpayers don’t want to pay for the military defence of the colonies American Threats Manifest Destiny: U.S. believe they have the right to take over all of North America Fenian Raids: Irish Americans attacking BNA Problems with Trade: end of Reciprocity Agreement between the U.S. and BNA in 1865

8 Journey to Confederation
Delegates (political representatives) from various colonies met to discuss the possibility of joining together. There were three conferences in all. Charlottetown Conference September 1864 Quebec Conference October 1864 London Conference Dec – Jan. 1867

9 Who Joined? In 1867, only four colonies joined Confederation:
Ontario Quebec New Brunswick Nova Scotia Two of the provinces – Ontario and Quebec – were formed when the United Province of Canada split into two
