The correct answer is:<br /><br />**a. To join together all of the British North America colonies.**<br /><br />### Explanation:<br />The Great Coalition of 1864 was a political alliance formed in the Province of Canada (modern-day Ontario and Quebec) with the goal of resolving political deadlock between English-speaking and French-speaking factions. The coalition, led by George Brown, John A. Macdonald, and George-Étienne Cartier, aimed to unite the British North American colonies into a single federation. This effort ultimately led to the Confederation of Canada in 1867, creating the Dominion of Canada.
