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.
