Effect on the Indigenous

This mind map goes through the various reasons that led to the Canadian Confederation. external factors like Manifest Destiny, the Fenian Raids, and the American Civil War made it clear that the colonies needed to unite for defence. Economic struggles due to the end of the Reciprocity Treaty and the Klondike Gold Rush showed the importance of managing territories and resources. Political deadlock between Canada East and West made passing laws nearly impossible. The six colonies involved had specific reasons for joining, from economic growth to defense needs.
