As of 1867 Great Britain was responsible for the foreign policies of her colonies in territories that were to become parts of Canada, as well as for their defence. This was a considerable load on the British treasury and Great Britain wanted the Canadian colonies to become independent. At the same time, Canadians had been subjected to a number of major and minor military incursions from the United States and some of them therefore sought unification as a path towards strengthening their defences. Many Canadians felt stronger ties to the British Empire than to the United States and therefore did not wish to attach themselves to the United States.
Assertions like these cannot be proven exactly. They can be substantiated either by reading the opinions of prominent historians who have studied the period or by making a careful person study of the available historical documents oneself.
Not so much break as don't let the door hit you on the way out. Britain had been making more than a few suggestions that Canada should be taking care of things themselves. So when Canada Confederated they were quick to rubber stamp it. As to Independent, well lots of people would suggest Canada is far from independent.
Yes.
Common Sense, published in 1776, was written by Thomas Paine. It convinced many Americans that America should separate from Britain and become independent and republican.
well i think that this question is that this is a serious question anyone person should know about our nations history!!well i think that this question is that this is a serious question anyone person should know about our nations history!!The North wanted to free the slaves and preserve the union. The South wanted to become an independent nation.
There was conflict and war because none of the southern farmers and businessmen wanted their slaves to become independent and free. They wanted them to serve them, to be their property. But Abraham Lincoln and the rest of the Northerners thought that slavery was horrendous, so they declared war. Years and years later, even after the slaves were free, the African American and Africans were still not as free as they should be. Quite a stupid situation if you think about it.
People wanted the province of Quebec should become an independent country. Separatists asked for a vote on whether Quebec should become independent.

Become independent country
Japan has been an independent country for hundreds of years. Why should they not be.
No. They feel they should break away and become their own country.
No. It is an independent country, so no country would want to give up its independence. It is also a long way from Brazil, so it would make no sense to become part of it.
My opinion doesn't count. That decision snould be vested in the legal residents of Puerto Rico.
Because there was injustices ruling of the Country since 1956 Independent date coupled with the imposition of the Islamic Saria Law forced on the Chritian south and continueis rule by Arabic Ethnic groups.
The north thought the South should turn to industry to get away from agriculture that needed slaves, or that it should be allowed to become an independent country.
He thought that Britain was over powering America and thought they should become an independent country and break away from England's rule.
Yes it will, hopefully. Northern Ireland deserves to be unified with the Republic of Ireland, and Scotland and Wales totally deserve to be independent. Therefore, England should be an official, independent nation.
It shouldn't.
