the answer to how many colonies united to form Canada in 1867 is four

===================================================

No, the answer is three.

Canada was the first country to be created by legislation.

Section 3 of the British North America Act (now the Constitution Act) united the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada into a new country, Canada, on July 1, 1867.

Section 6 of the Act then severed the Province of Canada into the Provinces of Ontario and Québec.

In the 1860s the British colonies were facing many different kinds of problems. One solution for all of these was for the colonies to come together to form one country. These are the problems that led to confederation:

Canadian Confederation happened on July 1st, 1867, however, this was not a declaration of independence as Canada was part of the British Empire. The Statute of Westminster in 1931 set the country as an independent realm with allegiance to the Crown as the 'Dominion of Canada'. The current Head of the House of Windsor remains the monarch of Canada.


Disadvantages of Canada west joining confederation?

"Canada West" was not a political entity. It was part of the pre-Confederation Province of Canada. "Canada West" was a geographical name that was applied to the territory of the former colony of Upper Canada between February 10, 1841, and July 1, 1867, i.e., between the the Act of Union and Confederation.


What was the purpose of establishing Upper and Lower Canada?

The massive migration of Loyalists to British North America led to the creation of Upper Canada and Lower Canada in 1791. The Constitutional Act of 1791 divided the Province of Quebec into the two separate colonies. Relations between the English speakers in the west and the French speakers in the east were strained. Splitting the area into two colonies was an attempt to end the French-English conflict and retain the allegiance of the Loyalists in Quebec.The English settlements in Upper Canada would be ruled by British common law and an elected assembly while the French province of Lower Canada would retain the form of government decreed in the Québec Act (a governor and appointed Councillors).
