Answer:

While many English-Canadians supported Britain's cause in South Africa, most French-Canadians and many recent immigrants from countries other than Britain wondered why Canada should fight in a war half way around the world. Concerned with maintaining national stability and political popularity, Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier did not want to commit his government. Yet the bonds of Empire were strong and public pressure mounted. As a compromise, Laurier agreed to send a battalion of volunteers to South Africa.

Answer:

Canadian opinion was sharply divided on the question of sending troops to aid the British. French Canadians led by Henri Bourassa, seeing growing British imperialism as a threat to their own survival, sympathized with the Boers, whereas most English Canadians rallied to the British cause.

How did the issue of slavery affect the debate on representation at the Constitutional Convention
luda_lava [24]
The issue of whether or not slaves would count towards the population was a huge problem at the Constitutional Convention. Northern politicians did not want slaves to count, as this would give Southern states more power in Congress. On the other hand, Southern politicians wanted slaves to count but they did not want to give them equal rights. Ultimately, the two sides compromise by creating the Three-Fifths Compromise.

The 3/5ths Compromise stated that for every 5 slaves, 3 would count towards the population.
