| Historical note | At the time of Canadian Confederation, the United States was extending its territory westwards. Between 1864 and 1890, nine new states were created, four of which were on the Canadian border. In 1867, the United States purchased Alaska from Russia. The fear of American expansionism then led Great Britain to favour the purchase, by Canada, of the Northwest Territory and Rupert's Land. Great Britain wanted to avoid armed conflict with the United States. If the coveted territory were under the jurisdiction of a legally constituted country, Canada in this case, rather than under the jurisdiction of a trading company, logic would dictate that the United States would stop seeing annexation as a possibility. | |
