Reciprocity, which means free trade, between the US and Canada, would help Canada's economy considerably. However, when Canada's mother country, Britain, supported the SOUTH side, the LOSING side to the American Civil War, the Americans (the NORTH side, who won) cancelled reciprocity as revenge on Britain for unofficially supporting the South. With Confederation, Canada would be independent from Britain, and therefore, the Americans could not do things to CANADA as revenge on BRITAIN. :)
It was the first treaty negotiated by Canada, independent of Britain. Before this time Canada had always looked to Britain to ratify any international agreements they made. When informed of the treaty, Britain wished to sign the treaty along with Canada, as it had in the past, but Canadian Prime MinisterWilliam Lyon Mackenzie Kingresisted.

In 1939, Canada waited a week to declare war on Germany to show independence from Great Britain. When Britain declared war on Germany in 1914, Canada was automatically included as part of the "British Empire". Thanks largely to the efforts and success of Canada's troops in WWI at places like Vimy Ridge, Canada began to consider herself an independent nation rather than simply a "Dominion".
