Chapter 2: Building a Nation
When Lord Durham returned to Britain after investigating the causes of the Rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada, he submitted his recommendations to the British government. He believed that three things needed to happen in the Canadas.First, he believed Upper and Lower Canada should be united into one colony. Second, he believed the colonies should be given responsible government. Third, he believed that, in time, all of the BNA colonies should join to form one large union. Durham’s first recommendation was acted upon immediately. The Act of Union, 1840 joined Upper and Lower Canada into one colony—now called the United Canadas.
