How Fathers Of Confederation Saved Canada

By Jason Burns


All nations have those founding people whom they can give credit for the peace and freedom they are enjoying today. There were people who worked so hard to make sure their nations reminded independent and was able to make its decisions. Fathers of confederation were the initial beginners of bringing together all the British American colonies into an agreement.

If it were not for these brave men Canada would have probably been a state in America. However these people left their jobs to fight for that. Leonard Tilley was a pharmacist with his own drug store who later sold it to be a politician. These men gave up their normal lives all for a good course and make sure Canada remained independent and still maintain ties with British American colonies.

They are the reason as to why and how Canada came to begin. There were some reasons as to why these alliances were formed. America had fought British before since they had the required military power. However during the American civil war Britain supported the southern territories instead of the north and United States saw a chance to grab the northern part.

The north was still angry at Britain for failing to provide them with necessary military support. After that war the British government was not willing to pay in order to defend them from the United States which wanted to take over the northern part. Therefore they realized the only possible way to defeat America was if the north part become an in dependent country.

Jean Charles Chapais was one of the members was a farmer and businessman who might have set his eyes on the economic benefits the country would get by being part of the alliance. Before the alliance trading was difficult and there were a lot of problems these countries were facing economically. With the alliance they realized they could trade comfortably.

Solving political issues was also a problem since there were the people involved in making decisions were not agreeing to the same ideas. There were those that spoke French while the rest spoke in English therefore making decisions was hard. The founders understood that joining forces with other colonies would help them make viable decisions putting into consideration of what matters.

If these people would still be alive today they would be so happy to see how amazing the country has become. They will forever be remembered for making the country great and independent. Some of them did not have their story end well. Darcy McGee who was a journalist before becoming a politician was shot and killed after being part of the revolution for about ten years.

They saw things differently and that is how they worked hard to seeing the project come to life. They sit ion for meetings looking forward to making a change. The first ever prime minister in Canada John Macdonald was part of the team that made the plan work. These conferences are still considered as historical events in Canada and the services of these men will never be forgotten.
