The reason Nova Scotia joined Canadian Confederation (and didn't join the American Declaration of Independence in 1776) was because of the Citadel in the middle of the town (which was under British Rule)... If Nova Scotia joined the U.S. Declaration of Independence, it would've most likely ended British Rule in North America (I.E. we'd be part of the states). But, we were close...
Canada West and Canada East offered a railway to link Nova Scotia to the mainland. They promised money for bridges, roads, and other development.
The last province to join Confederation was Newfoundland, in 1949. The last territory to join Canada was Nunavut, in 1999.
The first province to join Confederation after 1867 was Manitoba, which joined in 1870.
U mom did
The Maritime provinces of Canada—New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island—decided to confederate primarily due to economic challenges and the need for better defense against external threats, particularly from the United States. The promise of a larger market, improved trade, and shared resources through a united government appealed to these provinces. The Charlottetown Conference in 1864 facilitated discussions that led to a formal agreement. Ultimately, the desire for political stability and economic growth drove the Maritime provinces to join the Canadian Confederation in 1867.
Nova Scotia was one of the original four provinces to join Canada in 1867.
Why indeed? The majority of Nova Scotians did not want to join which was made very clear when they elected representatives wanting Nova Scotia to leave Confederation.
Nova Scotia did not 'join' Canada. Nova Scotia was one of the original four provinces of Confederation.

Well, originally, New Brunswick wanted to join with Nova Scotia and PEI in a Maritime Union, but when John A. McDonald and George Brown got themselves in invited to the meetings, they persuaded Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to join Confederation. PEI did NOT join at this time because they felt no need.
the trasportation was mainly wooden ships since there was no railways (that could happen when they join confed!!) :D
The 1867 'Constitution Act' instituted confederation of four provinces; Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, as "one Dominion under the name of Canada".
