I don't believe PEI did, as it was part of Canada, and not the USA. PEI joined confederation as the 8th province. Previously the people had refused to join due to fears of unequal representation, as well as a clear lack of political and economic advantage, since most of their trade was with the USA. They finally agreed in order to abolish absentee landlordism, as well as the debt that the province had accumulated, which would be shouldered by the Canadian Government.
First, PEI is a harbour city, its location was essential. if PEI's economy increase, maybe the United Province of Canada's economy will increase. second, the landlord was British's. the resisdent in there didn't have their own land. therefore, it was important for PEI to join confederation.
They were holding out for a better deal and they got the best deal of any province in Canada, with much more voting power and financial support per captia than any Western province and most Eastern province's. Well done PEI!
Prince Edward Island joined Canada on July 1, 1873
they joined the confederation because the needed a 800,000$ loan to buy there land off of the absentee landlords.

Many great Canadians wanted Confederation. For Canada West (Ontario) George Brown and John .A. Mcdonald led them to Confederation. For Canada East (Quebec) George Cartier led them. Nova Scotia was led by Charles Tupper. New Brunswick was led by Leonard Tilley. They were the 1st 4 provinces to join confederation. PEI and Newfoundland did not want to join. Newfoundland was the last to join in 1949.
It's not in a town, it goes across Northumberland Strait from PEI to New Brunswick.
Newfoundland joined confederation on March 31, 1949
the first four colonies to join confederation were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Canada East and Canada West.
No, they did not want to join Confederation. However, John Hamilton Gray, of PEI, was in favour.
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.

Pei was against confederation....
The answer is PEI at 1867. They take the PEI .
PEI and Newfoundland ... i think
1983
Newfoundland rejected confederation in 1869 because it preferred to remain a self-governing British colony due to concerns about losing control over its fisheries and potential financial burdens. Prince Edward Island rejected confederation in 1864 due to similar fears about losing control over local affairs and being burdened with the colony's debt.
At the time PEI had a number of options. 1. Jin Canada 2. Join the United States 3. Become an independent nation 4. Remain a British Colony To make a long story short, Canada offered PEI the better deal.
Winnipeg did not join Confederation.
