Why did Canada choose Confederation?

Canada chose confederation because of many reasons. Britain wanted to be less involved with governing the colonies because it took too much time and money. The ongoing problems between the french and the English needed to stop. Thus, having one government with both groups in it would solve these problems. Having one government instead of 6 separate governments would give the colony more power as the strength of the colony increase. This would solve the problems with the U.S. The U.S was a big threat to Canada at that time. The U.S was very strong and wealthy. Their numbers of soldiers out numbered the soldiers of Canada if all the colonies were separate. With the power that they had they were planning on taking control over Canada. They needed to cooperate together to defend Canada.

With confederation they would have better trade between each colony. They would build railroads between each colony which will help with trades and defense. The railroads would be able to transport troops around. Some colonies wanted to join because they had dept and wanted to get rid of that debt.
