British Columbia had three possible choices:British Columbia could remain a British colony.British Columbia could join the United States.British Columbia could join the Canadian Confederation (Canada).(Courtesy of Oxford Canadian History: Flashback Canada Fourth Edition)
Northwest Territory date of confederation was July 15, 1870.1869
