British Columbia joined confederation because they were promised a rail link between the pacific coast. -------------------------- And given Cash, and had Canada take over their debt, and were given 6 MPs and 3 Senators and promised that joining Canada would boost their economy. But overall it seems to have been a case of loyalty to the Crown. The USA was seen in a negative light after that little revolution and the USA was being very aggressive on the West Coast, taking land seen by most in the area as belonging to Britain or British Columbia. So even though there were many more ties, even families, to the Washington Territory to the south most of the leaders but the movers and shakers had connections and loyalty to Britain. Since Canada was still thought of as part of Britain or had at least not fought and killed British to Confederate they were seen as the nicer choice.
