Pei was against confederation....
Prince Edward Island (PEI) was initially reluctant to join Confederation in 1867 due to concerns over its economic viability and the potential loss of autonomy. The islanders feared that joining Canada would lead to increased taxation and that their agricultural economy would not benefit from the broader economic framework of Confederation. Additionally, PEI was apprehensive about the loss of control over local affairs and governance. Ultimately, it was only after several years of negotiations and promises of financial support that PEI decided to join Confederation in 1873.
Prince Edward Island (PEI) sought several key demands during its consideration of joining Confederation in 1867. Primarily, PEI wanted financial assistance to address its debt and improve its infrastructure, including roads and railways. Additionally, the island demanded a guarantee of its representation in the new federal structure and assurances regarding land rights for its residents. Ultimately, these concerns reflected a desire for economic stability and political security within the Confederation framework.
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.
Prince Edward Island (PEI) rejected Confederation in 1867 primarily due to concerns over the loss of autonomy and control over its local affairs. Islanders were apprehensive about the economic implications, particularly regarding the potential impact on their agricultural economy and land ownership. Additionally, PEI sought to negotiate better terms, including financial compensation for its debt, which was not adequately addressed in the initial proposals.
