What was the main outcome of Canadian Confederation?

Independence from Britain
Union of British colonies into one Dominion of Canada
Introduction of the Canadian dollar
Establishment of the Canadian healthcare system

The correct answer is: Union of British colonies into one Dominion of Canada

Canadian Confederation refers to the process in 1867 where the eastern British colonies of Canada (now Ontario and Quebec) were united with the British colonies of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to form the Dominion of Canada. As the main outcome of Canadian Confederation, this union provided a strong foundation for the growth and development of Canada as a nation, with all colonies coming together to form one united country. The other options are incorrect because A) Independence from Britain was not the main outcome of Canadian Confederation. While it did mark an important step towards self-governance and autonomy for Canada, the country remained a part of the British Empire at that time. C) The Canadian dollar was first introduced in 1858, almost a decade before Canadian Confederation. While it did become the official currency of Canada after Confederation, it was not the main outcome of the union. D) The establishment of the Canadian healthcare system was not the main outcome of Canadian Confederation. While Canada does have a publicly funded healthcare system, it was not established until years after Confederation in 1947 with the passing of the Canada Health Act.
