Every country has people they can thank for the peace and freedom they are enjoying today. These are the people who gave their all to mask sure countries worked together. British American colonies can credit their agreement to work together under one nation to fathers of confederation. They are the people who sat down to have meaningful talks about the stability of these colonies.

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.

The north was still angry at Britain for failing to provide them with necessary military support. After that war the British government was not willing to pay in order to defend them from the United States which wanted to take over the northern part. Therefore they realized the only possible way to defeat America was if the north part become an in dependent country.

Jean Charles Chapais was one of the members was a farmer and businessman who might have set his eyes on the economic benefits the country would get by being part of the alliance. Before the alliance trading was difficult and there were a lot of problems these countries were facing economically. With the alliance they realized they could trade comfortably.

Solving political issues was also a problem since there were the people involved in making decisions were not agreeing to the same ideas. There were those that spoke French while the rest spoke in English therefore making decisions was hard. The founders understood that joining forces with other colonies would help them make viable decisions putting into consideration of what matters.

These brave men will be celebrated for longer generations however not each of their story ended yup successfully. Darcy McGee who was an Irish born journalist who later moved to Montreal to become part of the revolution. However after about ten years of being part of the revolution he was shot and killed in what is believed to have been a premeditated plan.

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.
