The autonomous Dominion of Canada, a confederation of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the future provinces of Ontario and Quebec, is officially recognized by Great Britain with the passage of the British North America Act. July 1 will later become known as Canada Day.

This Act brought together the three provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Canada (which became the provinces of Ontario and Quebec).

This event made Canadians one step closer to achieving the country they wanted, which includes the equality of men and woman. So, no, Canadians did not create the country they wanted from this event, but it helperd them become closer to create a country they wanted, therefore a progress for women.

The two regions were governed jointly until Confederation in 1867. Canada West then became Ontario and Canada East became Quebec. In 1841, Britain combined the colonies of Upper and Lower Canada into a single colony called the Province of Canada.

With the Act of Union in 1841, it was renamed Canada West and merged with Lower Canada (Canada East) into the Province of Canada. Upper Canada was the predecessor of modern-day Ontario….Upper Canada.

1867 to 1985. 1867 – The parliament of the United Kingdom passes the British North America Act, by which the provinces of United Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia join to form Canada. United Canada was split into Canada East/Est and Canada West/Ouest, the latter of which eventually changed its name to Ontario.

The Overlanders of 1862 were a group of some 150 settlers who travelled from Fort Garry (now Winnipeg, Manitoba) to the interior ofBritish Columbia, following the Cariboo Gold Rush. They were led by Thomas McMicking of Stamford Township,WellandCounty, Canada West [Ontario].

Canada’s provinces differ from its territories because they are more independent of the federal government in their ability to set laws and maintain rights over certain characteristics of their land such as natural resources. Canada’s provinces get their power from the Constitution Act of 1867.

The names “upper” and “lower” come from their position along the St. Lawrence River. Upper Canada was up river, closer to the source and Lower Canada was down river, closer to the mouth of the great waterway. To travel “up river” you had to paddle against the current.

Canada West, also called Upper Canada, in Canadian history, the region in Canada now known as Ontario.

The Canadas is the collective name for the provinces of Lower Canada and Upper Canada, two historical British colonies in present-day Canada.

The prefix “lower” in its name refers to its geographic position farther downriver from the headwaters of the St. Lawrence River than its contemporary Upper Canada, present-day southern Ontario. Lower Canada was abolished in 1841 when it and adjacent Upper Canada were united into the Province of Canada.

It is clear to see that the lack of unity amongst the rebels played a huge part in the failure of the rebellions against William and his Norman influence; this is supported by the sources which clearly show the disunity of the rebel motives, with many of the aiding forces being lead by greed and having been easily paid …

In 1837 and 1838, insurgents in Upper and Lower Canada led rebellions against the Crown and the political status quo. It led to the Act of Union, which merged the two colonies into the Province of Canada. It also resulted in the introduction of responsible government.

William Lyon Mackenzie

This view holds that the rebellion was caused by the inexcusable partisanship of lieutenant-governor Sir Francis Bond Head and the rash behaviour of William Lyon Mackenzie. Few historians see any necessary political connection with the rebellion in Lower Canada.

Historians have identified diverse political, economic, military, religious and social causes of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. An uprising in several sepoy companies of the Bengal army was sparked by the issue of new gunpowder cartridges for the Enfield rifle in February 1857.
