Which party was organized by Joseph Howe?
Unionist Party
Confederation Party
Liberal Party
Anti-Confederation Party
Answer
The Anti-Confederation Party, led by Joseph Howe, opposed the union of British North American colonies into the Dominion of Canada in 1867. Howe argued that the proposed federal system would limit the autonomy of Nova Scotia and other provinces, and that the region's interests would be overshadowed by those of Central Canada. The party advocated for a looser form of union, or even the maintenance of separate colonies.
