By Thomas D'Arcy McGee

Book Overview

""Two Speeches on the Union of the Provinces"" is a historical book written by Thomas D'Arcy McGee in 1865. The book contains two speeches delivered by McGee in the Canadian House of Commons, where he advocated for the unification of the Canadian provinces. The first speech was delivered on February 8, 1865, and the second one on March 8, 1865. In these speeches, McGee argued that the unification of the provinces was necessary for their economic growth and political stability.
