Description
Plusieurs croient que le 1er juillet 1867 représente la date de la Confédération canadienne, le jour de la création du nouveau pays. Mais le processus ne faisait que s'amorcer en 1867. Du petit dominion aux frontières restreintes, le pays est devenu une fédération beaucoup plus grande, avec dix provinces, trois territoires, et des centaines de communautés autochtones. Les politiciens ont longtemps débattu le concept de pays; ils ont bien pesé les avantages et les inconvénients d'une adhésion à la Confédération canadienne.
La Confédération, 1864-1999 regroupe plusieurs historiens influents du Canada qui étudient comment les provinces, les territoires, ainsi que les régions sujettes aux Traités ont pris leurs formes actuelles. En partenariat avec Les Débats de la Confédération, un projet de production participative non-partisan et sans but lucratif visant à numériser les documents fondateurs du Canada, ce livre innove; il intègre les traités entre les peuples autochtones et la Couronne pour mettre en lumière la création et l'expansion de la Confédération canadienne. Ce faisant, le livre révèle l'histoire tumultueuse, complexe et évolutive de chaque province et territoire.
