		Canada rebuked the war because she wanted to prove to the United States that she was independent.
		Canada became a jealous younger sibling to the States; they despised the identity of the Americans, yet felt compelled to follow the Americans in hopes of winning their favor, economically and politically.
		Canada's refusal to charge into battle with the French and the Americans was an international statement that cleared the conscience of Canadian politicians and made the implementation of Canadian identity final.

		Canada, which in those days was simply Quebec, had fallen to the British under General Wolfe in 1759.
		Canada, at that moment, was united in a common desire not to be Americans, which has been the only thing Canadians have agreed on ever since.

	The American Response to Canada since 1776 by Robert Craig Brown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The first chapter covers the period from 1776 to the signing of the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854, a time of both war and continuous tension in the relationship with Great Britain and British North America while the United States was expanding its boundaries and establishing its continental empire.
		Throughout this period and the next, from 1854 to 1911, the goal of United States policy towards Canada was to thwart the attempt of the British North Americans, supported by Great Britain, to establish a second and rival continental empire in North America.
		Disengaging Canada from the British Empire was a permanent feature of the American response to Canada but, in the broad view, it was no less the goal of Canada.

	Old Fort Johnson
		The exertions of Continental Army General Schuyler to reinforce and supply the army in Canada in 1776 were untiring, and the amount of labor to accomplish that end, which he performed while tortured with bodily suffering, was prodigious.
		Early in January (1776) he was told that Sir John had fortified his manor-house at Johnstown, and that his retainers, mostly Scotch Highlanders, seven hundred in number, were in arms.
		Lady Johnson, who was a daughter of John Watts, one of the king's counsellors of the province, was sent to Albany on horseback in that pleasant spring-time, attended by a military escort, where she was kept in durance several months, as a hostage for the restraint of her husband.

		Perhaps more than any other man, he realized how fortunate they were to merely survive the year, and he willingly lays the responsibility for their good fortune in the hands of God rather than his own.
		The reader should be aware that "1776" is merely an introduction to that year, for the actions of the other Founding Fathers (and Mothers) are barely mentioned.

		The 2002 DVD release of 1776 offers the 168-minute "director's cut" version of the film, which is about 20 minutes longer than the VHS release (though still shorter than the previously released 180-minute laserdisc, which director Peter H. Hunt has said included some material he didn't care for).
		For the uninitiated, 1776 is the story of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and was first presented on Broadway in the late 1960s.
		However, purism aside, what 1776 makes clear is just what a close run thing independence really was, that there was, indeed, a significant proportion of Americans (and their representatives) who wished to remain loyal to the British crown.

		That the Letters we have address'd to them have made little Impression, the common People being generally unable to read, and the Priests and Gentry who read them to others, explain them in such a Manner as best answers their own purpose of prejudicing the People against us.
		That the Clergy and Gentry might, he thinks, by this means be brought over, and would be follow'd by all Canada.

		One of the first things Sullivan did upon his arrival was to launch an attack on the British garrison holding Trois Rivieres.
		The American army in Canada had suffered a severe blow in the disastrous attack on Quebec City on December 31, 1775.
		A heavy flow of supplies and reinforcements allowed the Americans to maintain a presence in the vicinity of Quebec into 1776, but massively superior British artillery made siege impossible, and disease and attrition further thinned their ranks.

		Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality.
		It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers.
		Especially in our own tumultuous time, 1776 is powerful testimony to how much is owed to a rare few in that brave founding epoch, and what a miracle it was that things turned out as they did.

		To think that if the American troops had not succumbed to smallpox in 1776, Canada might be American.
