    Hearing about Benedict Arnold is always so funny to me as a Canadian. Because before we learned about him in history class, I learned about him from extra history and oversimplified and other American sources. So I learned about him as a villain, and then in our Canadian textbooks he’s considered a hero (I personally consider him as an opportunist). And it’s really interesting to see the different perspectives clashing, makes me wonder about different perspectives we’ll never hear because the other side was wiped out.

    2:54 - *_And 3. Most French Canadians/Quebecers of the time used the name “Canadien” to refer to their French speaking compatriots at that time: since simply French (Or “Français” as they said) referred to people from France itself. They also used the term Canadian to differentiate from most English Speaking people of Canada who largely did not identify themselves as Canadian yet, but instead still held hon strongly to being people of the British Empire in the same way as anyone living on the British isles (Regardless of if they were born on those isles or in North-America._*
    *_So kudos for using the term correctly and for looking into the proper identifications/names of the time!

      Then Kościuszko did a lot of even more interesting things after returning home, which would be a great topic for an Extra History series. Let's just say that, although he was ultimately unsuccessful in his endeavors, he's pretty much considered the greatest hero in Polish history. He's also considered their national hero by Lithuanians and many Belarusians.

      Let's not give the Brits too much credit. The reason why they gave us all that was to keep us in the Empire. It was not an act of generosity, but of pragmatism. The 1763 Royal Proclamation's goal was to make Americans migrate to the new Province of Quebec by blocking any migration to the West by giving these territories to the Indians, to destroy the Catholic Church and the Canadien aristocracy. It failed. The Americans never moved North. Why? 1) Too cold! 2) Too Catholic! 3) Too French! So, seeing the turmoil in its 13 colonies, and considering the colony will always remain mostly French, the British government switched to plan B (Quebec Act of 1774) and gave to the Canadien elite what it wanted to control the Canadien population: Abolition of the Test Oath, French civil laws (which helped the Canadien nobility), nomination of a new Catholic bishop and re-establishment of the right to tithe (which helped the clergy). When those Loyalists started flooding the place, things went the other way around rather quickly...

      Basically the two colonies of New Hampshire and New York both claimed the area, giving people permission to colonize it. Since both where English colonies the battle was mostly legal, and New York won. The people who lived there under the New Hampshire charters had their charters revoked, meaning they either had to buy their land again or they would get kicked off of it. But they realized that since everyone else in the area was also there on New Hampshire grants they could just shoot New Yorkers instead.
      In other words their main problems with New Yorkers was the British rules taking their land, so it is entirely reasonable and they where basically already anti-British :V

    The term "Province of Quebec" was a British exonym to the French Colony of Canada. All french speakers not born in France considered themselves "canadiens" hence the hockey team's name. It was the British who gave birth to Quebec as a state. They then renamed the United colonies as Canada and adopted the name canadians, but the now reorganized french speakers continued to consider the country inhabited with "canadiens-français" and "les anglais". They only really considered themselves "québécois" after the quiet revolution in the late 1950s.

    On Quebec vs. Canada: until the 1960s, French Canadians would refer to themselves as "Canadians", and Anglo-Canadians would be referred to as "the English", a terminology which might have been encouraged by the strong Orangist movement that English-speaking elites of that era espoused.

      One of the reasons why the Americans were furious about the Quebec Act (probably the main reason), was because they thought it was an attack on democracy. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 wanted to create a House of Assembly like all the other British colonies had. Problem is that most of His Majesty's new subjects (Canadiens) were prevented to hold any office unless they swore the Test Oath by which they abjured their Catholic faith. The British governors, Murray and Dorchester after him, never created that assembly for that reason. It would have been an elected assembly from which 99% of the population would have been barred. Not very democratic... However, the Quebec Act simply returned to the French seigneurial regime, without any elected assembly. The Rebels thought it was an attack on the democratic rights of Quebec's population (especially the British population, they didn't give a f* for the rights of Canadien Catholics). They were also afraid that the British government would abolish all their assemblies through which they administrated their colonies since the beginning. It was an "intolerable act."
