Written for American readers, this short history begins where French rule ended in 1763 and follows the colonies through Loyalist settlement, the War of 1812, the rebellions and the fight for responsible government, the union of the Canadas, and the coalition of Macdonald, Brown and Cartier that brought about Confederation, before closing on the growth of the Dominion.
