By now‚ most of you have heard that the idea of Confederation is going around the government suggested by both John A.Macdonald and George Brown. I believe that we ought to hear them out in order to save our country from falling into the hands of the Americans. The confederation is the most plausible choice at this very moment in time because there is a very high chance that the Americans will take over Canada because we support the Southern states during the Civil war.
