The London Conference
On December 4th the London
Conference took place in the United Kingdom, and this was the final conference
that will lead to our Canadian Confederation. The Province of Canada, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia got together with the officials in the United Kingdom
to discuss and configure what the British North American act will consist of. A
major issue with the seventy-two resolutions was the education system when it came
to the Roman Catholic Bishops; they wanted their education system separate from
others. This was turned down by the delegates of the Maritimes, but they came
to an agreement with the schools in Ontario and Quebec, they will have Catholic
schools but Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will not. All in all the Conferences
were successful and the outcome was the Confederation in Canada. Queen Victoria
agreed to the Dominion of Canada and it was put into place July 1st
1867. I believe that these past few months have achieved great improvements and
this will lead to a bright future.
Good job Taylor. You got the main points of the Conferences. You're missing a few of the other things in the instructions like your sources, a commentary on what was achieved, and other outside activities surrounding the Conferences. But keep the homework coming!
