Plusieurs croient que le 1er juillet 1867 represente la date de la
Confederation canadienne, le jour de la creation du nouveau pays.
Mais le processus ne faisait que s'amorcer en 1867. Du petit
dominion aux frontiAres restreintes, le pays est devenu une
federation beaucoup plus grande, avec dix provinces, trois
territoires, et des centaines de communautes autochtones. Les
politiciens ont longtemps debattu le concept de pays; ils ont bien
pese les avantages et les inconvenients d'une adhesion A la
Confederation canadienne. La Confederation, 1864-1999 regroupe
plusieurs historiens influents du Canada qui etudient comment les
provinces, les territoires, ainsi que les regions sujettes aux
Traites ont pris leurs formes actuelles. En partenariat avec Les
Debats de la Confederation, un projet de production participative
non-partisan et sans but lucratif visant A numeriser les documents
fondateurs du Canada, ce livre innove; il integre les traites entre
les peuples autochtones et la Couronne pour mettre en lumiere la
creation et l'expansion de la Confederation canadienne. Ce faisant,
le livre revele l'histoire tumultueuse, complexe et evolutive de
chaque province et territoire.
July 1st 1867 is celebrated as Canada's Confederation - the date
that Canada became a country. But 1867 was only the beginning. As
the country grew from a small dominion to a vast federation
encompassing ten provinces, three territories, and hundreds of
First Nations, its leaders repeatedly debated Canada's purpose, and
the benefits and drawbacks of the choice to be Canadian.
Reconsidering Confederation brings together Canada's leading
historians to explore how the provinces, territories, and Treaty
areas became the political frameworks we know today. In partnership
with The Confederation Debates, an ongoing crowdsourced,
non-partisan, and non-profit initiative to digitize all of Canada's
founding colonial and federal records, this book breaks new ground
by integrating the treaties between Indigenous peoples and the
Crown into our understanding of Confederation. Rigorously
researched and eminently readable, this book traces the unique
paths that each province and territory took on their journey to
Confederation. It shows the roots of regional and cultural
grievances, as vital and controversial in early debates as they are
today. Reconsidering Confederation tells the sometimes rocky,
complex, and ongoing story of how Canada has become Canada.
