The Confederation Act

The Confederation Act was when three colonies owned by the british became into 4 provinces in Canada. Two of the British colonies became into 2 Canadian provinces, now known as Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and the other British colony divided into Ontario and Quebec. I think this is a proud moment because this how Canada became what it is and if it weren't for the confederation act then there wouldnt really be Canada today! What influenced the Confederation Act was the railroad that would improve trade across the country, military movement and moving goods. The Confederation Act would also improve the economic development of the colonies and it would also cancel the Canadian-American Reciprocity Treaty. There were many attempts of Confederation in the past, Lord Durham re-created the idea in 1839, in his report on the affairs of British north America and eventually the Confederation Act was passed on July 1st 1867. I think this was a great idea and a very proud moment to Canada today, it has inspired the colonies to come together as one.
