How did Fenian raids influence confederation?
The Fenians, while attempting to put pressure on Britain to gain independence for the Irish from Britain, actually further facilitated the Canadian Confederation. The 1866-1871 raids on New Brunswick brought fear to the BNA colonies, and while already discussing Confederation for decades, the Maritimes were fearful and felt that being part of a united Canada could help to defend them. Simply, the Fenian raids sped up Confederation for the purposes of national defence.

What were the Fenian raids?
The Fenian raids were attacks by members of the Fenian Brotherhood based in the United States on British army forts, customs posts and other targets in Canada in order to bring pressure on Britain to withdraw from Ireland, between 1866 and 1871. Most of the raids were successfully repelled by British forces and local militias. They divided many Catholic Irish-Canadians, many of whom were torn between loyalty to their new home and sympathy for the aims of the Fenians. The Protestant Irish were generally loyal to Britain and fought with the Orange Order against the Fenians. While the U.S. authorities arrested the men and confiscated their arms afterwards, there is speculation that many in government had turned a blind eye to the preparations for the invasion, angered at actions that could be construed as British assistance to the Confederacy during the American Civil War. There were five Fenian raids of note.
