B”H New Brunswick: journey to Confederation
I think that my colony of New Brunswick should join in Confederation with the other colonies of BNA. If we join Confederation we will actually have an army that will be able to defend us from the Fenians and the USA. Also if we join Confederation we will be able to address our needs for a better transportation system. Finally, if we join confederation, our economy will improve. The prospect of Confederation gives New Brunswick many exciting possibilities to explore.
Firstly, in a Confederation we will have a better ability to form our own army. Once the British soldiers leave, we will not be able to defend ourselves. We will need to join Confederation right away as we are very worried that the USA will invade New Brunswick as a revenge because we supported Britain in the south civil war. We also need an army because we share huge borders with the USA. It is very difficult to defend big borders, especially when you don’t really have an army. If we join Confederation, we will be able to send troops to protect the borders from invasions. The biggest advantage will be that if we start war with the USA or a different country, other colonies will send us troops to help us fight. Being part of a country, we would never be alone in times of trouble. As you can see we will have a lot of defensive advantages if we join Confederation.
Our colony will have many economical advantages and few disadvantages if we join Confederation. We do not have enough manufactured resources to be self-sufficient. If we join Confederation we will be able to trade our resources, especially lumber, to other colonies and exchange them for the things we need. Lumber and potatoes are our most valuable resources because 90% of our land is a forest. We need to get special tools and machines that will help us make good use of our agricultural potential. We have a great agricultural potential because more than half of our land is suitable for farming. Since 90% of New Brunswick is a forest we make the best battle ships and regular ships. I was talking to the colonies of PEI and Nova Scotia, I asked them if they would like to buy some ships from us. Their response was absolutely yes.
The Essay on Articles Of Confederation Constitution Colonies One
Articles of Confederation It would have been very difficult to run an effective government under the Articles of Confederation. Many of the great minds politically active after the American Revolution realized this; thus arrived the birth of one of the greatest political documents of all time: The Constitution. With the implement of the Constitution, the United States government became effective. ...
We could also address our need for a better transportation. Our transportation is not advanced and we have a hard time to get to different places. We need a railway so we will be able to move our troops easily to different places for war. We also need a railway so we will have a way to send our resources and amazing ships for trade. There is no way we can afford buying a railway because we are a very small colony. The only way that we will be able to afford a railway is by joining Confederation and getting other colonies help. If we do not join Confederation we will only be able to afford a small railway that will work from Saint John to Shediac and that will not be helpful at all.
This essay has clearly shown that New Brunswick is better off joining Confederation. If we join Confederation we will have many critical advantages. We will be able to have an extensive railway root. New Brunswick will have the advantage of defending themselves from the Fenians and the USA. They will also be able to help other colonies in the occasion of war because they can get to their land very fast using our new railway. Also we will have many economic advantages and we will be able to make good use of our agriculture potential. This essay has clearly shown that New Brunswick should join Confederation so we will have a chance to improve the quality of our lives.
