    9/1/1864 Charlotte
    Town Conference.
    Charlotte Town
    Conference was
    originally a
    conference used to
    discuss a possible
    maritime union
    between the maritime
    colonies. The Great
    Coalition John A.
    Macdonald, George
    Cartier and George
    Brown arrived and
    tried to sell the
    maritime leaders the
    idea of a
    Confederation. The
    Great Coalition bring
    over hundred bottles
    of wine (worth
    $13,000) hoping that
    they could convince
    the maritime colonies
    to join confederation.
    Maritime
    leaders later agreed
    that Confederation is
    possible if suitable
    terms could be agree
    upon. Another
    Conference was

    maritime colonies
    gather at Quebec for
    the Quebec
    Conference. The 72
    resolutions was
    created at the
    conference. Maritime
    leaders had their own
    terms for joining
    Confederation. Nova
    Scotia and New
    Brunswick wanted the
    intercolonial rail way
    be built. Prince
    Edward Island wanted
    money to buy back
    lands held by
    absentee landowners.
    However
    Newfoundland found
    it hard to be join

    confederation since
    they barely benefit
    from the
    confederation.
    The leaders of
    like maritime colonies
    later went back to
    their colonies
    convincing people
    their idea of
    confederation.

    southern states,

    not
    only
    create a tense
    realtions
    between Britain
    and the North
    but also made
    BNA colonies fear
    that the Northern
    states will attack
    them
    for
    revenge.
    The

    Reason Of

    Several factors lead
    to Confederation,

    by Irish American
    Troops.
    These
    troops constantly
    attack farm near
    the border and
    tried to capture
    BNA colonies.

    Trouble With Trade,

    Coalition wanted
    to form an union
    or
    a
    confederation,
    and if that does
    not
    work
    out
    they would split
    canada into 2
    provinces.

    4. Need
    for Rial
    Links
    Rail
    Links
    were needed for
    communication,
    transport
    and
    defense, it was
    really expensive
    for the railways
    to be build so
    colonies wanted
    to
    share
    the
    expense
    for
    building
    the
    railway. Another
    reason
    for
    building
    the
    railway was that
    St.
    Lawrence
    River is block by
    iceduring winter,
    colonies
    and
    people
    need
    another way to
    transport goods,

    to

    Colonies.

    The
