Confederations are kinds of organizations that generally comprise many parties and alliances. The reason these people come together is to create an official group or league and one of the most popular one was created in eighteen sixty four. The group basically consisted of members that attended various meetings that were held in Charlottetown, as well as in Quebec. During these meetings these persons were discussing issues and policies regarding the Canadian Confederation.

Despite its formation long ago, the contributions they made to society are still being felt and implemented to this day. If they had not banded together all those years ago, the country would not be what it has become today. Furthermore, this was only made possible through the participation of various individuals. As such, the succeeding paragraphs will be relaying some engrossing details on the Fathers of Confederation.

The founding father of this confederation is Sir Adams Archibald. Without his participation and strong beliefs, the entire alliance would not exist. Much like most of its members, he was an outstanding politician and a lawyer who contributed much to society. One of his titles was becoming lieutenant governor of the province named Manitoba.

George Brown is a Scottish national, but was born and raised in Canada. He is best known as a reform politician, who is responsible for creating the Toronto Globe. During its time of publication, it was regarded as the most influential and popular newspaper in the country and Brown was its founder and chief editor. Due to his work, national unity was achieved and enforced throughout the country.

Alexander Campbell is an upper statesman and achieved this through a career in politics. He slowly built his way up from his small community in Ontario before becoming part of this alliance. A little known fact is that he is not actually a born Canadian but was in fact, from Yorkshire. His father bought him to this country at 12 months and ended up pursuing an education in law helping him become a successful lawyer.

The Newfoundland Colony was founded and premiered by Sir Frederick Bowler Terrington Carter. This happened in 1865 to 1870 and having a strong background in politics and law enabled Carter to succeed in his career and gain the KCMG title. This is known to be a highly important and prestigious title, which was a useful title since his he had many relatives also in the same society.

New Brunswick is the town where Edward Barron Chandler was born in. As an adult, he became a vastly popular and successful lawyer who became a part of their United Empire Loyalist group. Due to this, his opinions were often acknowledged by many and lead him to become a member of their legislative council. Edward is credited as one of the figures that helped propel the railway development in Canada.

James Cockburn is another politician who often emphasized his conservative views. His family moved when he was 13 years old. Because of his extensive knowledge, he was given an important position by the government.

Another politician is George Coles, who had a very little educational background. Instead of going to school, he was busy with pursuing numerous businesses such as farming and agriculture. Furthermore, he was eighteen years old when George became interested in brewing, which catapulted him into becoming a very successful and prominent merchant who specialized in breweries.
