View source for Invasion of Quebec

The '''Invasion of Quebec''' was a campaign by the Continental Army into Quebec Province (today known as [[Canada]]) in 1775, shortly before Independence.

During the course of the expedition, several prominent leaders were killed or injured, including General Montgomery and [[Benedict Arnold]].

After the passage of the [[Quebec Act]], which reorganized Canadian governance and established direct rule by the crown, leaders in the [[Thirteen Colonies]] started to become concerned that British forces could use northern territories as a military staging ground.

Preemptively pushing the British out of northern provinces would "promote peace and security" for the colonies.
