Wait what???
nearlly 100 years before all the meetings people had the idea of a confederation but there were alot of people who thought otherewise but stuff like the forming of the U.S changed their minds -
WHY??!?!?!
Because of alot of stuff like the threat of amaricain expantion, dept (not the Johnny kind) potitical deadlock, Britian wanting its colonies to be more self suffisent -
Its revived!!!!
After years of nothing importent an importent dude (lord Durham)
in his report to Britan, said a confederation would be a good idea! -
Confederation now a reality?
Fear of economic disaster and geting seamroled by the Americans in war, some foks started talking about what was called ,a confederation. This so called confederation would unite the colonies of northern America and allow free trade and stability -
NOOOOOO free trade
Free trade with America has ended (well not really) free trade with people in Canada. They are still alowed to trade with the U.S but they have to pay high taxes and stuff for their goods to pass the border so the colionies thought that if they united it would allow them to trade with them selfs without fines (and stuff) -
