Quebec conference (1864)

The conference in Quebec City (10–27 Oct. 1864) was the second of three conferences that would prepare the ground for Canadian confederation. While the Charlottetown conference focused on general principles, the Quebec conference concentrated on practical realities. After three weeks of discussions, the delegates from Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia agreed on the 72 resolutions that formed the basis of the new Dominion of Canada.
