Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an insider's account of the 1863 effort to bring about the Canadian Confederation. The author was a young member of Canada's Parliament at the time and had the unique opportunity to experience the challenges and successes of the endeavor. At the time, there was no formal communication between what are now Canada's Maritime Provinces and the rest of the country. The author notes how isolated they were, and how an attack on Canada by the United States during the Civil War was narrowly avoided. At the center of the political challenges was the deadlock between the two parties about how to improve the political representation of Ontario and Quebec. The author suggests the achievement was due in large part to a few leaders, namely George Brown, George Cartier, and Alexander Galt, who set aside political differences out of genuine concern for Canada's future. This captivating and insightful book provides a rare firsthand account of a pivotal moment in Canadian history.
