Sir Wilfrid Laurier was able to unite Quebec behind the Liberal party, while still keeping support throughout the rest of Canada. During the 1896 election, he and the Liberals were able to take advantage of the divisions in the Conservative Party over the Manitoba Catholic schools issue.
Before this time, Laurier had worked hard, rising to become leader of the Liberal Party. He had to do his job as Leader of the opposition well, and gain trust with the Canadian population.
