Sir John A Macdonald Born in Scotland immagrated to Kingston
He was the first prime minister and he was born on Jan 11 1815 and died June 6 1891
Macdonald was born in Scotland and when he was a boy his family immigrated to Kingston in the Province of Upper Canada (today in eastern Ontario).As a lawyer he was involved several high profile cases and quickly became prominent in Kingston, which eleected him in 1844 to the legislature of the province of Canada.He was prime minister from 1867 to 1873, 1878 to 1891.Some of his acheivements were that he was the first prime minister, the architect of the canadian confederation which founded the dominion of Canada. And he was adept at making the necssary that were required to bring colonies together.
The last stage of Macdonald's public career was plauged by difficulties. The North-West Resistance occured when Macdonald himself was superintendent general of Indian Affairs . The subsequent execution of Louis Riel in 1885 greatly increased animosity between French-speaking and English-speaking Canadians, and cost Macdonald political support in Québec, where Riel was regarded as a martyr to the forces of Anglo-Saxon imperialism. In addition, Ontario Premier Oliver Mowat launched a series of successful legal challenges to the powers of the central government, resulting in a federal system that was much less centralized than Macdonald had intended. The federal power of disallowance, which enabled the federal Cabinet to cancel provincial legislation, had been freely used during the early days of the Dominion, but was virtually abandoned by the end of the 19th century due to provincial opposition.
The political party that he belonged to and years as prime minister
The party he belonged to was conservative party of Canada.He was prime minister from 1867-1873 and again from 1878-1891 when he died.At that time his party dominated the others even the liberals but when John died things changed and took a toll for the worst.
Sir John Alexander Macdonald's childhood wasn't the best but was certainly good.Let's learn more about it.
John's family were definately not the most succesful but lets take a quick look on who they were
A very big list of wars were going on while he was in office but not only that but a lot of protests struck out about Equal rights for women and Black or as they called them "coloured" people also began the blacks got their rights but women did not.Not until they got hurt and not just them but other Canadien citizens also got hurt.So John pulled himself together and finally gave womean equal rights like men.
