Editing Charles Tupper (section)

====Aftermath of the Quebec Conference====
Although Tupper had given up much at the Quebec Conference, he thought that he would be able to convince Nova Scotians that the deal he negotiated was in some good for Nova Scotia.<ref name="ODNB"/> He was therefore surprised when the deal he had negotiated at Quebec was roundly criticized by Nova Scotians: the Opposition Leader [[Adams George Archibald]] was the only member of the Liberal caucus to support Confederation.<ref name="ODNB"/> Former premier Joseph Howe now organized an [[Anti-Confederation Party]] and anti-Confederation sentiments were so strong that Tupper decided to postpone a vote of the legislature on the question of Confederation for a full year.<ref name="ODNB"/> Tupper now organized supporters of Confederation into a [[Confederation Party]] to push for the union.<ref name="ODNB"/>

In April 1866, Tupper secured a motion of the Nova Scotia legislature in favour of union by promising that he would renegotiate the [[Seventy-two Resolutions]] at the upcoming [[London Conference of 1866|conference in London]].<ref name="ODNB"/>
