*Although this chapter deals with Confederation, I chose to place it in Part 3 in order to leave it in order within the Story of the World chapters.  It deals only briefly with Confederation, and can serve as a good review as you look into the part the CPR played in the development of Canada.  Of course you are free to read this chapter with Part 1 if you prefer.
