Why didn’t Quebec join the 13 colonies in a revolt against the British and become part of the USA in 1776?

501 viewsOther

France and Britain had been arch enemies for centuries. New France (Quebec) was taken over by the British. Ben Franklin had a newspaper in Montreal. You’d think there’d be some influence and rationale for Quebec to secede from Britain and join the US during the war of independence, but it didn’t. Why not?
