Confederation Achieved p.116-117 How did the colonies decide to go through with Confederation?

The Conferences 1864: Leaders of the colonies meet to discuss confederation Conferences held in Charlottetown (PEI) and Quebec Leaders of the Charlottetown Conference shown

The Conferences The following factors were discussed: Creating responsible government The operation and powers of the new Federal Government The powers of the new provinces Issues of protecting French Language and culture The Transcontinental Railway Little to no thought was given to Aboriginal Peoples in the Country

NEGOTIATING THE TERMS OF CONFEDERATION WAS DIFFICULT!!!!! Some leaders were still unsure if joining Confederation would be good for their Colony’

Conference Results New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and The Province of Canada agreed to Confederation Agreed that the provincial governments would keep many powers and controls within their provinces BUT they needed Britain to agree and allow for the Colonies to become an Independent Country -Keep power in prov to make sure the federal govt (located in Ontario) would not fully control how each province functioned

Provincial

British North America Act (BNA Act) July 1, 1867 British Government signed and passed the BNA Act Officially enabled the colonies to join and become Canada, an independent country from Britain We celebrate this historic event every year on July 1 = CANADA DAY!

Canada’s Push for Independence Canada negotiated its independence with Britain VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE USA BNA act  evolved over time into Canada’s Constitution CONSTITUTION: outlines the laws, government system, government powers/responsibility, and rights of citizens within a country USA- 13 colonies fought for their independence with British Army

The New Nation with Old Problems Aboriginals and their lands were not considered in the creation of Canada Transcontinental Railway = EXPENSIVE $$$$ Where will the money come from? And the labour to build it? Cultural conflicts between English and French continue
