The most important farm products were potatoes, rye, buckwheat, maple sugar and livestock. When it came time to confederate the French people were nervous because they didn't want to lose their French heritage. They were afraid that it would be overwelmed by the English. At the time of confederation, 1867, Montreal was the biggest city in the British North American colonies.
