Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is a 6 page paper discussing important periods in the development of Canadian society. The development of Canada as a society has taken place over several stages; perhaps the most important being the period from the 1840s through the 1860s which led to Confederation and the development of the Dominion of Canada by the British North America Act of 1867. At that time, Canada was very much under the influence of Britain as it was considered Britain’s North American colonies and was of interest to the U.S. which had plans in the late 1860s to annex the lands now known as Canada. The process of unity began in 1841 with the Act of Union which united Upper and Lower Canada and continued through until Confederation in 1867. The periods of 1880-1920 and 1940 to 1970 were important in the continued refinement of Canadian identity through national and international developments but neither era could have been as successful without the strength which was formed through the initial stages and Confederation established between the years 1840 and 1870.

Beginning in the early 1840s, a process was underway to unite Upper and Lower Canada to firmly establish the unity of Canadian society and its development up to
this point. Spurred by a report by Lord Durham in 1839 which recommended the union to speed up the assimilation of French-speaking Canadians, in 1841 an Act of Union united
Upper and Lower Canada as the Province of Canada (Francis, Jones & Smith, 2000, Origins). In addition to uniting Upper and Lower Canada, certain other important actions were made in
the establishment of Canada as a whole. The Maine-New Brunswick border dispute ended in 1842 and in 1849 the boundary of the 49th Parallel extended to the Pacific Ocean. In
addition, from 1848 to 1851, the "Great Ministry" of Robert Baldwin and Louis H. Lafontaine began to establish the principles of responsible government within the Canada and Howe brought into
