Support for Canadian Confederation came primarily from leaders in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, who saw it as a way to strengthen economic ties and improve defense against external threats. Key figures like John A. Macdonald and George-Étienne Cartier played pivotal roles in advocating for unification. Business interests and many citizens believed that a united Canada would promote stability and growth. Additionally, the desire to create a stronger political entity in response to the challenges posed by the United States influenced support for Confederation.
