Anti-Confederate leaders opposed confederation primarily due to concerns about the loss of provincial autonomy and the centralization of power in a national government. They feared that a confederated Canada would diminish local governance and the ability of provinces to make decisions that reflected their unique needs and interests. Additionally, economic anxieties, particularly regarding trade and taxation, fueled opposition, as many believed that confederation would disadvantage certain regions economically. Overall, the opposition was rooted in a desire to maintain local control and preserve regional identities.
