 | | The referendum campaign was bitterly fought and interests in both Canada and Britain favoured and supported confederation with Canada. |
 | | This is exemplified in the role of Jack Pickersgill, a western Canadian native and politician, who worked with the confederation camp during the campaign. |
 | | Religion played a significant role in the final analysis as well with the Catholic church lobbying for continued independence. |
