The Quebec Campaign, 1775-1776
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the failed Quebec Campaign of 1775-1776 by United States military forces. In 1775, an American army invaded Quebec and took possession of St. Jean-sur-Richelieu, Chambly, Montreal and Trois-Rivières, and then besieged Quebec City. The assault on the colonial capital failed, the occupation authorities were unsuccessful in mustering armed French Canadian support, and, in 1776, a powerful British relief expedition chased the American forces back across the U.S. border. The author analyzes the military factors underlying the American defeat, and the actions of different segments of Quebec society to the invasion: the Catholic Church; the Francophone seigneurs, bourgeoisie and habitants; and the Anglophone merchants. The author also includes an analysis of the province's social and economic structure between 1760 and 1776.
