Prince Edward Island (PEI) joined Canadian Confederation in 1873, primarily due to economic challenges and the promise of financial support from the federal government. Key figures in this process included Premier Edward Palmer, who advocated for entry, and federal politicians such as Sir John A. Macdonald, who played a significant role in negotiations. The decision was influenced by the island's need for infrastructure improvements and the desire to resolve land issues. Ultimately, PEI became the seventh province to join Canada.
