How The BNA Could Spilt Apart


The Fenians was a brotherhood that the Irishmen formed in America to promote the liberation of Ireland from British Control. They believed that if they captured some of the BNA Colonies they could hold there ransoms in return of Irelands freedom. Their raids helped promote for a union among the BNA colonies that began to believe that they needed a united defence. Britain promised low interest loans for railways as a enticement for confederation. The British colonies realized that they had no means to defend themselves when the United States threat of attack attacked the British. The Americans tried to expand across America leading the annexation. They believed that once the war came to an end American should turn its attention to the annexation of the BNA. The Americans believed that the United States was destined, by God, to control all of America. The British dispatched 14 000 troops to the BNA, because there was no railway, and it took a long time to transfer the troops to where they were needed. Britain proclaimed neutrality in the war and their booming textile industry needed cotton, that was produced in the Southern States. The British built ships called blockade runners that were able to smuggle cotton out of the South to Britain. The British threatened an attack, because of that the Americans wanted to get back at them by attacking the BNA. 

From these reasons the BNA colonies probably would get pushed apart from the Americans relationship with the British. The British needed things from the Americans such as cotton, but they did not want to form an alliance with them and just wanted to attack them. Therefor the BNA colonies should spilt from America, because Americans can easy attack the colonies that was apart of the British so if they spilt they would not be really close together that they cannot just attack them when they are not able to defend themselves.

  1. Remember that America, Canada and the Maritime Colonies were all separate states. The questions was whether or not these events would split the Maritime Colonies and Canada apart, not America.
