    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

    • @AoH3_King
      @AoH3_King 2 часа назад +1

      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.

    • @AoH3_King
      @AoH3_King 2 часа назад

      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

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...

    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.
