Introduction

Last week saw the official outbreak of war after a decade of politic and economic tension. The british were stuck manning the siege lines of boston during the fall and winter of 17 75, while the ill fated tempt to capture canada was launched and then crashed and then burned. i have gotten more questions about the canadians than almost any other subject, specifically, why didn't they join the rebellion? It's french catholics and new england puritans, both distrusted the other for all kinds of obvious reasons.
