	Battle of Quebec (1775) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Quebec was an attempt on December 31, 1775 by American revolutionaries to capture the Canadian city of Quebec and enlist French-Canadian support for the Revolutionary War.
		The battle was the climax of the American invasion of Canada, and put an end to any hopes of French Canada rising in rebellion with the Americans.
		With the British victory at Quebec and the later retreat of the Americans from Canada, there was never another serious attempt to bring the Canadians into the American Revolution against the British.

		Cleaveland describes the battle as being very tough on his troops, and despite the fact that a few of his troops were cut off from the rest of the group, they still pushed forward to their objective and finally reached it.
		That is why the Battle of Quebec did not happen until the end of the war, since both sides knew the winner of that battle would win the war.
