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.

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island Most commonly known as the Birthplace of Confederation. In 1864, representatives from the British North America and the Province of Canada met to discuss the confederation of Canada. Ironically, PEI was the only one of the maritime provinces that opposed confederation and did join until 1873.
The maritime colonies that were hesitant or opposed to joining Confederation in 1867 included Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Many residents of these colonies were concerned about losing their autonomy, the potential for increased taxation, and the fear of economic disadvantages. Ultimately, while New Brunswick and Nova Scotia did join Confederation, Prince Edward Island initially opted out and only joined in 1873 after addressing some of its concerns.

Confederation had a significant impact on the Maritime's identity by creating a sense of economic and political marginalization among its residents. The loss of economic power and political influence led to a feeling of being on the periphery of the newly formed Dominion of Canada. This helped to shape a strong regional identity rooted in a sense of independence and distinct cultural heritage.
