What 5 bodies of water are shared between the U.S and Canada?

4 of the 5 Great Lakes - Superior, Huron, Ontario, & Erie are shared between the U.S. and Canada. The fifth Great Lake - Lake Michigan - is entirely within the U.S. and is NOT shared with Canada. Puget Sound is a large body of water and is shared between the U.S. state of Washington, and the Canadian province of British Columbia so you could consider that to be the 5th one that you are looking for.


Was Canada part of great Britain in 1850?

No. It was still a British colony. Confederation was formalized in 1867, at which point Canada became the Dominion of Canada. While still a British possession, there was a move toward more independence, as the colonies were becoming very expensive to maintain for the British Crown. We had certain obligations to Britain, for instance, we had to go to war if they declared it. After World War I, Canada more or less gained complete independence from Britain, with one holdover, the British North America Act (in effect, the Canadian constitution), which remained a British act, and could only be modified by their parliament. In 1982, the Constitution was formally repatriated to Canada, at which point we had total independence to conduct our own affairs.
