The most pressing problems was the weakness of the Federal government to be able to do almost anything significant. King George is said to have complained that he didn't know whether "to send one ambassador or 13 ambassadors to the United States" because each state did exactly what they wanted. As a result, the government was almost bankrupt, the army was in disarray, and had there been a national crisis, there would have been no central government response because the central government had no real power. All the power rested with 13 bickering states. The leaders of the revolution, including George Washington, recognized that without a strong central government, the United Stateswas doomed. So, Washington offered his home as a place for a Constitutional Convention and eventually a strong central government emerged from the chaos

Why did Ontario not want Confederation?

Wrong. First, Ontario did not exist as such until Confederation. Second, that part of the Province of Canada which had formerly been Upper Canada (and which formed the basis of today's Ontario) had the most to gain from Confederation and was the strongest supporter of Confederation. Third, although all provinces have benefited from Confederation, it is probably fair to say that Ontario has benefited the most from Confederation.
