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.

Military power was what inspired America to feel like they could take over the northern part which was still a British colony. In that moment when the British government was fearing to be defeated they encouraged these colonies to come together and form a country. That was the only way to prevent America from scooping them to be part of the United States.

There were economic issues that these founders based their arguments from before alliance was fully formed. Holding three conferences trying to pass the idea some countries had not realized the importance. Before the alliance countries would not trade freely. After the alliance trade become easy which explains why a Canadian citizen does not need any kind of visa to go to the United States.

Before the alliance were formed Canada was a big province made up of leaders speaking different languages. There were those that spoke in English and others in French. The founding men of the alliance realized that joining forces would help them solve the political issues. Once the alliances were formed the problem was solved and making decisions became 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.
