At the end of the civil war before Canada was settled or the border was extended beyond Michigan! There was no central government in Canada. The State on the East coast had a fairly large trade with the US already. (novia scotia) The canadians spurred on by America were trying to establish an uprising against Britain! That is when the bill was drawn up! When the Canadians established their central goverment the US let them be, but have on several occassions threatened and even drew up invasion plans a couple times!
The only way they would ever do it now that we are friends is if you split like you did in the 80's! If you read it though it says that it can not be rescended and I think the British signed it too (dont hold me to that though). It wouldnt be profitable for the US to do and yall are our friends, so I wouldnt worry about it!
Nova Scotia has wanted to be a State for years and hols on to an exclusive trade agreement with us! The rest of yall are split 50-50 for annexation!

Sorry my memory fails me here is a little of what the site says:

In 1867 the British North America Act finally established the terms of Canada. The most common view of Confederation under this Act is a bunch of guys around a table waxing poetically on Canada as a nation. But was that the reason they met to do the deed?

For years the US had been trying to talk the British and the Canadians into joining them. The Americans were convinced that Canada could not make it on their own. Since 1850, William Seward, the American Secretary of State during the Civil War, had been an annexationist who felt that British North America (Canada) was destined to become part of the United States. As it became obvious that the North would emerge victorious from the War, there was a fear that American expansionism would rear its head and turn its eyes to the north.

In the Canadas and the Maritimes many thought that invading BNA would give the victorious Union army something to do. The possibility of annexation was even more real in the northwest of what is now Canada. In 1860 Seward praised the people of Rupert's Land for conquering the wilderness and creating a great state for the American Union.

Theres more to it than that though. Its all on the site!

Y'all are too dam complicated!!
Wouldnt it have been easier to fight for your independence!

I think the more I read that the BNA was enacted because of the bill I posted! The British were worried we'd take it. LMAO

I found a battle plan around the time of the first world war called battle plan Red that our military drew up for an invasion of Canada!!

Your country is strange, ours is simple compared to that ****!!
