    #7 - Rebellion and Reform

    S1:E7

    The colonial societies of Nova Scotia, Lower Canada and Upper Canada are caught up in a torrent of rapid growth and new currents of democratic thought. Through the stories of Joseph Howe, Louis-Joseph Papineau and William Lyon Mackenize, the strikingly different courses these political conflicts took are portrayed. Within ten years English- and French-speaking politicians would establish long-lasting partnerships that won the prize of self-government.

    S1:E8

    In a few short years, a handful of small and separate British colonies are transformed into a new nation that controls half the North American continent. The remarkable story of Confederation is told against a backdrop of Civil War in the United States and Britain's determination to be rid of the ungrateful colonies.

    #9 - From Sea to Sea

    S1:E9

    The new Dominion faces the enormous challenge of extending its reach to the Pacific Ocean. But Canada blunders in taking over the West without the consent of its inhabitants, especially the Mètis and their charismatic leader Louis Riel. Their resistance lays the groundwork for Manitoba to join the country, but also sets the stage for decades of conflict over French-English rights. By 1873, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island have joined, and Canada is a dominion that extends from sea to sea to sea.
