HISTORY

Today we discussed  THE FINANCIAL REASONS FOR CONFEDERATION

A Change in Britain’s Attitude    
England did not want to be responsible for taking care of the colonies anymore.
Up until this time, England took care of BNA colonies since England needed this land for a souce of food. England bought a great deal of the food that grew in North America, but now England did not want to buy their food only from its colonies. It also wanted to do business with other countries. So, if the colonies came together to form a country, then together they would make their business stronger. 
Change in US  Trade Policy

In 1865-6, the Reciprocity Treaty between BNA and the United States ended. The United States no longer wanted free trade with BNA.
