So we are studying The American War of Independence in class, and I can't figure out why Quebec didn't use the chaotic situation to assert it's own independence for GB. One of the reasons the Brits had put troops in North America was to control the French population to the north, and I can't imagine that the Quebecois were happy with British rule. So, why didn't they either join the colonists in rising up or at least take the opportunity afforded by English distraction to stage an uprising of their own?
Especially once France got involved, why didn't they try to get Quebec back as part of their support for the patriots?
