| Title |
James Murray: A Forgotten Champion of Religious Freedom
|
| Abstract |
The author points out that in the newly conquered colony of New France, alien to the British in culture, language, and religion, James Murray (1721-1794) pioneered tolerance within the British Empire. Appointed the military governor of Quebec in 1760, and the first civil governor in 1763, Murray voluntarily allowed broad religious liberties to the French in the province when anti-Catholic oppression was the norm within the rest of the Empire. The 1774 Quebec Act essentially codified Murray's tolerant policies.
