| | Road to Canadian Confederation quiz |
 | | Only two of the Fathers of Confederation served later as Prime Minister of Canada. | | | The governor of the Province of Canada was instrumental in encouraging the success of Confederation, so much so that his term was extended so that he could be the Governor General of the new Dominion. | | | The province, however, did not join in 1867 and indeed was the last province to join Confederation. |

| | John A. Macdonald, Confederation and Canadian Federalism - Studies on the Canadian Constitution and Canadian Federalism ... |
| | Canadian politician, statesman and Father of Confederation (1815-1891). | | | They declared by their Constitution that each state was a sovereignty in itself, and that all the powers incident to sovereignty belonged to each state, except those which by the Constitution were conferred upon the General Government and Congress. | | | The history of the first 25 years of Confederation under Macdonald is but one long attempt to implement his program of strengthening the federal government at the expense of local autonomy. |

| | The Canadian Senate In Focus |
| | At the time of Canadian Confederation, United States senators were appointed by the legislatures of each State of the Union. | | | Just a few years after the Fathers of Confederation had laboured to define what the nature and role of a second chamber for our new nation should be, the Senate became the target of public and political criticism. | | | Brown, a Father of Confederation, was involved in the Quebec Conference where the future Senate's role was defined. |

| | Two Fathers of Confederation by Edith McWilliam MacAllister |
| | In this Mitchell was ably assisted by John M. Johnson, Northumberland County's other Father of Confederation and these two eloquent speakers became known as the "The Northumberland County Smashers." The result was the return of the Confederation party and Mitchell became Premier. | | | Such a strong supporter of confederation was he that after the Union became official on July 1, 1867 he resigned his seat in the Legislature and ran for the federal seat, defeating Conservative Thomas Gillespie, a Foundry owner. | | | One school of thought says that the true Fathers of Confederation are the sixteen men who attended the London Conference and formulated the British North America Act. |
