Reason 5: Britain wanted her colonies to be more self sufficient.
Many people in Britain thought the colonies in North America were very useful and good for production and resources. However, many others believed all the colonies were doing, was eating the tax payer’s money. If BNA (British North America) became a country then they could rely on themselves in a greater way and would not need as much tax money to survive, meaning Britain would not need to help the colonies as much. Britain was in favour of Confederation largely for this reason.
