In 1911, there was a short-lived movement to make the Bahamas part of Canada.

The failure of the movement was, in part, due to the British government's opposition to uniting a predominantly Black colony with a predominantly white country.

Famous quotes containing the word period:
“We are in a period when old questions are settled and the new are not yet brought forward. Extreme party action, if continued in such a time, would ruin the party. Moderation is its only chance. The party out of power gains by all partisan conduct of those in power.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
