How did John a MacDonald and George Etienne Cartier contribute as partners of Confederation? Improve
The Fenians, an Irish nationalist group, aimed to liberate Ireland from British rule and sought support from Irish communities in British North America (BNA). Their raids into Canada in the 1860s highlighted the vulnerabilities of BNA colonies and the potential threat posed by external forces. This prompted leaders in BNA to recognize the need for greater unity and cooperation among the colonies for mutual defense, ultimately contributing to the push for Confederation in 1867. Thus, the Fenian activities inadvertently galvanized support for the union among the BNA colonies.

The Luftwaffe invented air raids during the Spanish Civil War.
"Articles of Confederation" OR "confederation" or "the Articles of Confederation"
It affected confederation cuz the raids raised the Britain colonies defenses against the war with BNA so BNA had to get the same defenses by using raids
Fenian raids happened in 1818-04.
The Fenians, while attempting to put pressure on Britain to gain independence for the Irish from Britain, actually further facilitated the Canadian Confederation. The 1866-1871 raids on New Brunswick brought fear to the BNA colonies, and while already discussing Confederation for decades, the Maritimes were fearful and felt that being part of a united Canada could help to defend them. Simply, the Fenian raids sped up Confederation for the purposes of national defence.

The Fenian raids were attacks by members of the Fenian Brotherhood based in the United States on British army forts, customs posts and other targets in Canada in order to bring pressure on Britain to withdraw from Ireland, between 1866 and 1871. Most of the raids were successfully repelled by British forces and local militias. They divided many Catholic Irish-Canadians, many of whom were torn between loyalty to their new home and sympathy for the aims of the Fenians. The Protestant Irish were generally loyal to Britain and fought with the Orange Order against the Fenians. While the U.S. authorities arrested the men and confiscated their arms afterwards, there is speculation that many in government had turned a blind eye to the preparations for the invasion, angered at actions that could be construed as British assistance to the Confederacy during the American Civil War. There were five Fenian raids of note.
The 5 factors of confederation are:1) the threat of an American takeover and fenian raids2) the trouble with trade3) political deadlock4) the need for rail links5) changing british attitudes
I think you mean 1860s and yes I would because it would benefit the economy, and provide better defence against Irish Fenian raids and Americans. Also, the intercolonial railway linked with us would benefit us as trade, transportation, and communication would be easier.
