Image of the Day - Confederation Decisions Cartoon

The Confederation of Canada was a hotly debated topic. Some British North American colonies were afraid of joining Confederation and being dominated by larger colonies/provinces. There was much debate of how to organize the government; some fathers of Confederation believed that a legislative union with a powerful central government was the answer. Others believed that a federal union with provincial and local governments was a better solution. Some people were afraid that the United States would try and take over all of North America with their policy of Manifest Destiny. There were numerous reasons why the British North American Colonies considered forming an independent country.

Take a look at this political cartoon of George Brown. What does the cartoon imply? How was confederation a balancing act? What is annexation?

Remember, you must be able to analyze images and documents for the final exam in June. Always look at the foreground, middleground, and background of an image and read any text that may give you a clue to answer the question.
