	Virtually Union - History of Union, Missouri
		Union is the county seat of Franklin County, the third largest county in the State of Missouri.
		The town was established to serve as the seat and its name "Union" was supposedly chosen to signify a coming together after dissention of the county over the moving of the county seat from Newpert.
		Union continued to grow at a moderate rate until 1887 when it experienced a "boom" caused by the completion of the St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado Railroad to this point.

		The Act of Union passed in July 1840 and proclaimed February 10, 1841, abolished the legislatures of Lower Canada and Upper Canada and established a new political entity the Province of Canada to replace them.

	Union Act (1840-41) - Readings - Quebec History
		All of the union projects (1810, 1822) proposed before 1840 stemmed largely from these two conditions : the union was necessary to assure the economic health of the two territories and to dilute the political power of the French.
		The Union of Upper and Lower Canada shall be declared by a Proclamation of the Governor-general in the next 15 months; this union is made to "secure the rights and liberties and promote the interest of all classes of Her Majesty's subjects." The province is to be known as the Province of Canada.
		The Union, with its clear intent of assimilation, was to generate trauma and political realignment in Quebec.

	Act of Union - Canadian Confederation
		United Canada was thus born, and consisted of Canada East (formerly Lower Canada and the precursor of modern-day Quebec) and Canada West (formerly Upper Canada and the precursor of modern-day Ontario).
		The Act of Union was the main reason for the political instability that reigned in United Canada until 1867.
		Because the Union gave equal representation to both parts of the colony, some members of the political elite, both francophone and anglophone, were calling for rep by pop (representation by population).

		Those of 1840, exclusive of disbursements for public debt and trust claims, will probably not exceed twenty-two and a half millions, being between two and three millions less than those of the preceding year and nine or ten millions less than those of 1837.
		By an act of signal and cruel treachery they broke the truce made with them by General MacGrab, who was sent from Washington for the purpose of carrying into effect the expressed wishes of Congress, and have continued their devastations ever since.
		The acts of Congress establishing new mail routes and requiring more expensive services on others and the increasing wants of the country have for three years past carried the expenditures something beyond the accruing revenues, the excess having been met until the past year by the surplus which had previously accumulated.

	The Durham Report, the Union Act and the Birth of the Separatist/Federalist Attitudes - Readings - Quebec History
		His proposal of Union, especially as it was to be applied by the British Government in the Union Act, was perceived in Quebec as ‘an act of oppression’ or, in the words of historian Maurice Séguin, as ‘a New Conquest’.
		It was evident that one of the purposes of the Union Act was to remove from the French the little amount of self-government, of control over their political institutions, that they had had between 1791 and 1837.
		The Union Act provided for equal representation of the two parts of the new province in the new House of Assembly when in fact Lower Canada contained 60% of the population and Upper Canada had only 40%.

		The law amended the Quebec Act to carve off a Loyalist haven from an upriver portion of Quebec to be known as Upper Canada, leaving the downriver part French within the terms of the Quebec Act, after 1791 to be called Lower Canada.
		In application from 1841 to 1867, however, the union was more federal than unitary and since the political players on the artificially united stage represented remarkably different political and cultural traditions the union provided an arena for developing a political culture of accommodative dealmaking as well as experience with federalism.
		More explicitly federal than the Union it replaced, the BNA Act recreated the separation of the Canadas (as well as preserving some of the autonomy of the Atlantic provinces) by drawing a line between the powers of provinces and the parliament of the union.

		The act of confederation officially became law in July 1867, and the entire country came to be called the Dominion of Canada from that day on.

		Following the Rebellions of 1837, The Canadas were merged into a single colony, the United Province of Canada, with the Act of Union (1840), in an attempt to assuage local resentment at a lack of popular involvement in colonial executive decision-making and perhaps to also integrate French Canadians better into the widening community.
		The area between the Province of Canada and the colony of British Columbia, Rupert's Land, was administered by the Hudson's Bay Company, but by the late 1850s, politicians in the Province of Canada launched a series of western exploratory expeditions with the intention of assuming control of Rupert's Land and the Arctic region.
		The term "Canadian Confederation" refers to the initial 1867 act of union and subsequent incorporation of other British colonies and territories.
