Britain supported Canadian Confederation primarily to maintain stability in its North American colonies and to prevent potential expansionist threats from the United States. By encouraging the unification of the provinces, Britain aimed to create a stronger, self-sufficient entity that could better manage its own affairs and defense. Additionally, the British government viewed Confederation as a way to reduce its own financial and military responsibilities in the region. Ultimately, this support helped facilitate the creation of Canada as a confederated nation in 1867.

How did reciprocity affect the confederation?

Reciprocity, which means free trade, between the US and Canada, would help Canada's economy considerably. However, when Canada's mother country, Britain, supported the SOUTH side, the LOSING side to the American Civil War, the Americans (the NORTH side, who won) cancelled reciprocity as revenge on Britain for unofficially supporting the South. With Confederation, Canada would be independent from Britain, and therefore, the Americans could not do things to CANADA as revenge on BRITAIN. :)
