Social Confederation

  1. What colony did you represent?
  • I represented Prince Edward Island

      2. What did you feel were the biggest or most important issues for your colony?

  • I think the biggest issue for Prince Edward Island was trading and transporting goods, and transportation for citizens.
  • I think the most important issue that happened was when the ferry terminal was put into place. Since it was put into place, it would help transport citizens, and move goods.

      3. What strategy did your group come up with to deal with those issues?

  • We came up with a strategy that was able to meet almost everyone needs. We worked around our issues and we tried to figure out a way to solve it.

      4. Did you have to make any concessions during the negotiation phase?  If so, what agreements or concessions did you come up with?

  • In order to get what we wanted, we had to help out the other colonies. We helped pay a small portion of       the Railways and in return, they helped us pay for the ferry.

 5. Were you happy with the outcome of the confederation debates?

  • Yes, I was very happy with the outcome of the confederation debates. I was supersede with the outcome because I thought most people would’ve had a different opinion than my group, but it turns out, a lot of the other colonies wanted the same thing as my group.

 6. What is one thing you wish had happened differently with the final results and why?

  • Something that I wished that would’ve happened differently was agreeing on having a fee for the Island colonies. I think by having a fee on each Island it would help bring in more income and a less chance of debt.
