| John A. Macdonald tries to persuade the Colony PEI to join confederation. |
|
 | Join us in confederation and we'll be a powerful nation united against the threat of American invasion. | |
|
| Yeah, right....or the United Province of Canada will be powerful and PEI will be left out and ignored. | |

|
|
| Join with us and we can trade with one another. We won't have to pay tariffs to the United States. | |
|
| Why would we trade with colonies that are so far away? How are we going to send goods across all that land? This is crazy! | |

|
|
| Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were more interested. |
|
| What do you think? They say they'll build a railway. | |
|
| Britain won't continue to send troops to defend us much longer. We need to organize ourselves and strengthen our defences. Joining together will be helpful. | |
