Representatives from the three Canadian Maritime Provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island met at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island to discuss a possible confederation. They were joined by delegates from the Province of Canada and the agenda was widened to a discussion of a national unification. Such progress was made that a follow-up meeting was held in Quebec in October 1864. (By John Osborne)
