What were major events of the Canadian confederation?

The Canadian Confederation, which occurred on July 1, 1867, marked the unification of the British North American colonies of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia into the Dominion of Canada. Key events leading to this included the Charlottetown Conference in 1864, where discussions about uniting the colonies took place, and the Quebec Conference later that year, which solidified the framework for Confederation. The British North America Act was passed by the British Parliament, officially establishing Canada as a self-governing dominion. This event set the stage for further expansion and the eventual inclusion of additional provinces and territories.
