内容説明
Challenging the view that the provinces of British North America united between 1864 and 1867 in response to the internal and external challenges of the time, this book considers the British dimension. It argues that the origins of confederation must be sought in a vague consensus among opinion-formers in Britain that the provinces would one day unite.
