He was the first prime minister of Canada, he was also one of the fathers of confederation (1867)
John A MacDonald was the first prime minister of Canada. And George Brown was the journalist who founded the newspaper globe and his politician is reform party. They are both from the fathers of confederation
Louis Riel's leadership in the Red River Rebellion of 1869 was directly responsible for the creation of the province of Manitoba in 1870. Almost all of the demands made by the Manitobans were agreed to by the Dominion government. Riel is often looked on as a Father of Confederation because of his leadership, but he was not involved in the actual negotiations which led to the passing of the Manitoba Act. Those negotiators were Joseph-Noel Ritchot, John Black, and Alfred Scott. These three have a better claim to the title of Fathers of Confederation than Riel.
He was all for confederation, he didnt really have a big part in confederation but he had a big part in leading up to confederation.
Many many things including creating Confederation, creating Canada. One of the most famous fathers of Confederation, D'Arcy McGee was Irish. They also supplied a large percentage of the labour to build railways in Canada including the railway to BC.
Because they are the fathers.
It is confusing because there were two different "Fathers of Confederation". The first fathers were the fathers who attended the three meetings. The second fathers were the fathers who entered confederation later.
Fathers of Confederation are a group of people who attended the Charlotte and Quebec Conference in the year 1864 in London. Originally, there were 36 original Fathers of Confederation.
bad very bad :(
There are a number of things that the fathers of confederation did. They brought provinces together and worked out various democratic ways of governing these territories in various conferences.
They wrote the Constitution, to replace the Articles of Confederation.
