Rupert's Land joined Confederation primarily due to economic and political factors. The region, controlled by the Hudson's Bay Company, faced challenges such as declining fur trade and external pressures from the United States. Confederation offered the promise of economic development, infrastructure improvements, and protection against American expansion. Ultimately, the desire for stability and growth led to Rupert's Land becoming part of Canada in 1870.
Not at all. They were not under Canadian rule, they had not even been invited into the Confederation. Canada calls it a rebellion because they claimed to have purchased the Metis when they bought Ruperts Land. Of course they never asked the Metis or anyone living in Ruperts Land, so no surprise that some decided they wanted to talk about it. In 1869 the people of Western Canada were only resisting a takeover, an occupation. You cannot rebel if you are not part of the country to begin with.
he got Alberta and Saskatchewan to join the confederation.
Newfoundland joined Confederation on March 31, 1949, becoming Canada's 10th province. The decision followed a series of political and economic challenges, including the aftermath of World War II and a declining economy. A referendum held in 1948 resulted in a narrow majority favoring Confederation over other options, such as maintaining dominion status or continuing with responsible government. After negotiations, Newfoundland officially entered Confederation, marking a significant shift in its political landscape.
The Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) sold Rupert's Land primarily to raise capital and reduce its operational costs. The sale in 1869 to the Canadian government was part of a strategic decision to focus on its core business while allowing the Canadian Confederation to expand westward. Additionally, the changing economic landscape and pressures from settlers and the government made it increasingly untenable for HBC to govern and develop the vast territory effectively.
North German Confederation ended in 1871.

The first province to join Confederation after 1867 was Manitoba, which joined in 1870.
He didn't "join" Confederation, well I guess in one sense he did because he was one of our Fathers of Confederation and a professional politician. Maybe that is why.
