The remarkable story of Confederation, its passionate supporters and its bitter foes is a story of risk, suspicion and seduction that unfolds against a foreboding backdrop of civil war in the United States and colonial disengagement in Britain. The dawn of the photographic era provides a vivid portrait of the people of the new Dominion -- railway magnates, socialites, crusaders, fugitives of the Underground Railway and a tide of Irish immigrants.
