the American continental army tried to take Quebec early in the war but were unsuccessful
inhabitants of British Canadian territory did not have the same sentiment towards Independence as in the 13 American colonies, it was far more sparsely populated, lived in closer association with indigenous people, and was not economically large enough to consider independence
after the war, many British loyalists left America and settled in Canada causing the cultures to diverge even more
Things I’ve learnt:
the American continental army tried to take Quebec early in the war but were unsuccessful
inhabitants of British Canadian territory did not have the same sentiment towards Independence as in the 13 American colonies, it was far more sparsely populated, lived in closer association with indigenous people, and was not economically large enough to consider independence
after the war, many British loyalists left America and settled in Canada causing the cultures to diverge even more
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and other bits all used to be part of British Québec
America attempted to claim modern day Quebec in the Paris peace talks after the war
in the end the British surrendered only the above territories with the border becoming more or less the modern US-Canadian one
