Canada West- now called Ontario
Canada East- now called Quebec

In 1841, Canada West and Canada East united. This is the first step towards Confederation. Canada is still a British colony.
The role of the legislature is to pass laws.
In 1857 Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as the permanent capital.
The 4 political parties were-
The Liberal party (Grits)- active in Canada West
The Conservative party (Tories)- active in Canada West
Bleus - active in Canada East
Rouges- active in Canada East
Equal Representation- each region/colony has the same number of seats in the legislature.
As the population in Canada West rose, they started to believe that they should have more seats in Parliament. They argued for representation by population.
Representation by population- the more the population of a region, the more seats should have in Parliament.

George Brown and John A Macdonald were from Canada West. 
Etienne Cartier  was from Canada East. 

He opposed representation by population. He felt that the English already had a majority in the legislature. The Canadiens (people of French background ) were already a minority in Canada East. If Canada East had less seats than Canada West, they ( Canadiens) would be under represented! He argued that this would be unfair.

HISTORY

MANIFEST DESTINY

American Civil War took place between the North states ( The Union) and the South (the Confederacy).
They fought over whether slavery should be legal.
 The US Civil War is from 1861-1865.
Slavery was abolished in 1833 in all the British colonies.
The North  and the South disagreed about slavery.
The South liked slavery because the work was done for free and they did not have to pay their workers. They felt their economy depended on slavery.
The North disliked slavery because;
1. Southern states could sell their products a lot cheaper than they could.
2. Slavery was wrong. It was wrong to exploit or take advantage of someone for one's own benefit.

BNA supported the Confederacy during the Civil War. The Union was worried about attacks from the borders of BNA.
Confederate agents used Montreal and Toronto to plot against the Union.
The Union was more powerful than the Confederacy.

Manifest Destiny- the belief that the US had a duty to take over the ALL of North America.
