A J Smith was a person from New Brunswick who was opposed to confederation. He was also a very hot tempered man who stuck to being opposed. He was a lawyer and was often consulted about marine matters concerning the law.
In all, about 30 000 Loyalists settled in Nova Scotia (and in New Brunswick, which was part of Nova Scotia until 1784).
The maritime colonies that were hesitant or opposed to joining Confederation in 1867 included Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Many residents of these colonies were concerned about losing their autonomy, the potential for increased taxation, and the fear of economic disadvantages. Ultimately, while New Brunswick and Nova Scotia did join Confederation, Prince Edward Island initially opted out and only joined in 1873 after addressing some of its concerns.
The support of First Nations for the inter-colonial railway varied among different groups and regions. Some Indigenous communities saw potential benefits, such as improved access to markets and resources, while others opposed the railway due to concerns over land rights, environmental impacts, and the disruption of traditional ways of life. Overall, many First Nations were not adequately consulted, and their interests were often overlooked in favor of colonial ambitions.
First Nations' support for the railway was often rooted in the promise of economic opportunities and improved access to goods and services. However, many Indigenous groups opposed it due to concerns about land rights, environmental impacts, and the potential disruption of their traditional lifestyles. The railway was seen as a symbol of colonial expansion, leading to the erosion of Indigenous territories and cultures. Ultimately, perspectives varied widely among different First Nations, with some supporting it for practical reasons while others resisted its implications.
