What if the British forces under James Murray were to be forced to surrender after a successful siege of Quebec in 1760? Knowing that forts Ticonderoga, Detroit, and Niagara had already been captured by the British, might this have meant a more limited British victory? Perhaps only the Ohio country falls into British hands and not Canada? What effect would a surviving New France have on the 13(ish, plus Nova Scotia) colonies? Would the settlement still involve Britain capturing Florida? Might the British forces in the Caribbean then go for New Orleans instead? Would the French try to prevent a repeat of the near-disaster by loosening restrictions on settlement to try to catch up with the British?
