The Maritime provinces of Canada—New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island—decided to confederate primarily due to economic challenges and the need for better defense against external threats, particularly from the United States. The promise of a larger market, improved trade, and shared resources through a united government appealed to these provinces. The Charlottetown Conference in 1864 facilitated discussions that led to a formal agreement. Ultimately, the desire for political stability and economic growth drove the Maritime provinces to join the Canadian Confederation in 1867.
