Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book critiques the desirability and practicality of granting greater self-governance or outright independence to British North American colonies. The author, a colonial politician and journalist, reviews the author's public speech proposing a union of these colonies. He contests its claims that British colonists are denied political representation and public employment opportunities, and that this has led to a groundswell of support for increased autonomy. The author counters that, contrary to the speech's assertion, these provinces have enjoyed prosperity and freedom under the current constitutional arrangements. The author further argues that calls for annexation by the United States or a federal union of the colonies are unwise and would be detrimental to British North America. The ideas in this book are insightful for understanding the political debates and tensions of the mid-19th century related to the governance of the British Empire. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
