Benefits Of Fathers Of Confederation To The Canadians

By Jason Burns


Each nation has several brave people who gave their all to make sure the countries remained peaceful. Canada was the first nation to form have fathers of confederation before the other nations joined. These were people from all walks of life from business people to journalists. They gave their all to ensure that British American colonies worked together under one system.

If they did not put the work they did to these talks Canada could have been swallowed into the American world and maybe it would not exist as an independent country. Most of these men were something else before becoming politicians. Someone like Leonard Tilley was a pharmacist who sold his drug store to pursue his political ambition and that decision made him a hero in Canada.

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.

In that moment while America was still trying to take over the northern part and Britain did not want to pay money to defend these countries they argued them to be independent. The British government still wanted to feel superior and not be defeated by the United States once more. Due to that fear these founding people settled for an alliance instead of war as America tried to take over.

In the beginning of these conferences and debates a lot of people did not understand the benefits they stood to gain by being part of the alliance. Having business men like Jean Charles Chapais who was a businessman in the panel meant that they cared about their economic trades. Being part of the alliance strengthened the economic ties with other countries making trade better.

In the same period the northern colonies especially the province of Canada had some political problems. The two parties involved in making decisions on how to run the country had differences. They also did not speak the same language. Some spoke English while others used French to communicate so joining other colonies made the decision making process easier.

In case they came to life today they would be amazed with the results. Their service to the country will be forever treasured. Darcy McGee was an Irish journalist who moved to Montreal to be part of this change. However his life did not end well since he was assassinated after being part of the revolution for about ten years but his contribution is felt up to date.

It is because of their way of seeing things differently that they realized the importance of countries working in unison. They are the planners who devised the first idea. They are still remembered as amazing figures that helped the country be formed and their commitment will forever be cherished. These gatherings still go down as the most memorable events in Canada.
