Why did British Columbia join Confederation in 1871?
Why indeed? On the surface the British Columbia colony had a much better offer from the USA. They had closer ties, both culturally and economically with the USA and the USA had the promise of greater power and wealth. But the people of British Columbia, other than those with power within a British dominated political system, had little say in the matter. British Columbia joined to benefit a few political elite and have yet to hold a proper vote on joining Confederation. BC is not unique in this way, many other provinces joined for similar reasons. In the case of BC there is a myth that they joined to get a railway. At the time BC would have liked a railway but their largest trading partner was south, not west. When the rail arrived from the west local manufacturing companies could not compete with the preferred status Eastern companies had with Eastern companies and many local BC companies went out of business. The real need for the railway was Canadian. Canada needed the railway to quickly transport troops to the West to address the all too often violent resistance to Canadian rule.
