My most important event
For my number 1 event in Canadian history, I have picked 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. The Province of Canada contained the most people and was later 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 people had different ideas about how things should be run. Leaders from both parts of the province decided that joining the other colonies might help solve their own political problems. In order for their economy to do well, the colonies needed to be able to sell their goods to other places. 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. This is why i have chosen confederation as my number one event.
