Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I Piritene a Pope i te wā o te
London Conference (on the question of Confederation) of 1867, and persuaded delegates to agree to $800,000 being allocated by the federal treasury to buy proprietary lands on PEI so that they could be distributed to tenants. I whakaaetia e ia nga mema ki te whakaae ki te $800,000 e tohaina ana e te putea a te kawanatanga ki te hoko whenua rangatira i PEI kia taea ai te tohatoha ki nga riihi. Heoi, i kitea tenei hei whakapae i te moutere, a ka wehewehe i nga Tories, i arahi ki to ratou hinganga i te pooti o te tau 1867 i te ringa o nga Liberals, he nui ake te riri ki te hononga. I whara hoki nga Tories na to raatau ingoa mo te rangatira whenua: ko te Tenant League i pakanga ki te hinga i te kawanatanga o Pope.
