Starting from the loss of the Thirteen Colonies in 1783, Colquhoun traces how the scattered British provinces of North America moved towards union: the deadlock of the Canadas, the Maritime proposals, the Charlottetown and Quebec conferences of 1864 and the hard debates that followed. Macdonald, Cartier, Brown and Tupper are the leading figures.
