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

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?

Britain gave liberty of cult to the catholics, and rub the back of the church, so that the priest told people to follow the british orders. beside part of the reason america decided to get independant was because of the act of Quebec, that restored french civil law and gave more territories to Quebec. So Quebec had not much to gain at this moment in history to join the USA
