Plenty of Frenchman were still chilling and living up in Canada at the time, plus Canada had different goals, priorities and concerns. As the American Revolution occured, plenty of British Royalists would eventually start moving north as well. Thing is, some British Colonies were chill with the Empire (particularly those who of course came from Britain themselves, not necessarily the indigenous/native peoples of those same lands) and in America, the real issue of the matter was the fact that the elites in America wanted more power for themselves, and figured they had the distance, land, and longterm means to leave. So they did.
Also the fact that economically things were getting better due to better trade routes, what's the one thing that could take that all away? Picking a fight with the worlds largest Navy. Quebec was a developed colony by that time, but it had both far harsher winters and no where near the population nor economic diversity of the 13 colonies by that time, they would be risking a lot more rebelling.
Before watching, let me guess: because they were mostly French? Canada had been conquered by Britain a few years earlier and most of its colonists were French, Anglization came later (except for the Atlantic provinces, where there was ethnic cleansing early on).
Kind of the opposite actually. We were British who didn't want to be Amercian, simple as that really. Our people went down two seperate paths. Americans chose rebellion, and we chose our people and Empire. There was no confusion in Canadians on who we are until after the 1960s when a certain despicable politician decided to spit on our British heritage
Incorrect. The French parts of Canada did not get along with the British parts. This actually fuelled a lot of pro American sentiment, as many eastern "Canadians" hated the French just as much as the Americans did, and had absolutely no clue why the British government gave the French any territory in north America. Quebec itself only stayed with Britain because at least the British were promising to maintain the status-quo.
There was no "Canada" at the time at all. Canada is a byproduct of the revolution. The American colonies were indistinguishable to the colonies north of the 45th.
@AoH3_King Well you're technically right in the sense that upper and lower Canada came into being in 1791, after the American revolution but the Dominion of Canada came into being in 1867 due to the threat of US expansion at that time
I think everyone agree about the fact that any nation at 18th century could enter and go out of what is today Abitibi/Northern Ontario like a knife into butter ...
@@zackmorris1419scoobysnack327 Because it was not super interesting.... zackmorris1419, broke from the 7 years war ? Then why french navy won maritime fights during Revolutionary War ?? In late 1760 decades and early 1770, France created a big navy which could rivalise with British navy....it needed 10 years at that time to make it reality....that's why U.S. got their independance and won the war...
Cause Benedict Arnold lost more than half of his men on the way north and failed to capture the city. If it worked, Quebec would be American. Simple has that.
More like loyalty to our people and traditions. Being an Anglo Canadian i can look back on a multi thousand years British history as my own, where as your people are rootless, mongrelized libertines
Even today, people focus entirely on Quebec when talking about why the revolution didn't spread... It really shows why the british colonies should have sided with the americans in the end, as their interests were CLEARLY not in mind. The eastern colonies disliked the french, and had the same views as the american colonies. They were simply too scared of Britain to leave.

Why this not ocurred also in The Bahamas?
I like how american speratists are called patriots and later seperatists called rebels
That's what happens when you lose.

@@otten5666 For sure but sometimes confusing for an non-american (:
Americans call themselves patriots sure, as a Canadian I'd call them a nation of rebellious mongrels
The only difference between a patriot and a rebel is who wins and who loses

Sure, for the french, america was completely against their interests.
But the british colonies? Their interests were virtually completely aligned.
The revolution is coming now better late than never.

on the right track but missing key elements

Could you do a video on the Canadian revolutions of 1837?
I second this motion.
*rebellions
Canadians had different priorities and concerns than the American colonists, and many remained loyal to the British crown.
Answer to the thumbnail:-
Literally because the area where the revolution didn't spread later became Canada.
Simply royalists were fleeing to Canada.. thus formed a majority?
Good, quick review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!

Any Canadian in these comments should put on the Maple Leaf forever and just appreciate the beauty of who and what we are

It spread to Canada. But Canada was too frightened by the british to join.
Nova Scotia, in particular, was highly sympathetic to the Americans.
It did, Quebec wanted to join but we got shafted by the french crown.
The French crown held no authority over Quebec by that time, it was the British crown
And that’s why in Countryballs Lore UK has solo custody between US and Canada
Dans quel sens le Québec s'est-il fait avoir par la couronne française ?
Why were French colonies so sparsley populated compared to the British ones?
Very interesting!
Well based on recent developments
I 'm afraid it's about to
Why didn’t France send troops to Quebec during the Revolutionary War?
Because they were broke from the 7 year war .

Because it's full of royal bootlickers
What's the matter still crying you couldn't take Canada? 😂
@callumbush1 couldn’t have said it better myself!

Yeah! USA has always VOTED its corrupt leaders into power 😂
Because it's Canada

Different prononciations depending which language you speak. Which is correct Quebeckers or Quebecois? Both.
00:46 well it's not the Gulf of Mexico anymore according to President Trump lol
That’s stupid.
jajajaja
Too bad the US became a thing. Now we have to deal with that shxt hole worldwide.
When you use a US built platform to complain about the US.
Only a whiny little snowflake would say such a thing.

Almost first
America used to have places of Turkish origin
No it didn't.
