	Province of Quebec, 1763-91
		Between 1763 and 1791, the British colony based on the St Lawrence River was called the Province of Quebec.
		The aim of the Proclamation of 1763 was to assimilate the Canadiens (the French-speaking population) into a larger English-speaking community, so that their language and culture would gradually die out and they would adopt British customs, laws, and possibly the Protestant religion too.
		This plan was based on the belief that thousands of American settlers would soon move to Quebec from the Thirteen Colonies.

	Province of Quebec, 1763-91
		By the ROYAL PROCLAMATION OF 1763, the Province of Quebec was created out of the inhabited portion of NEW FRANCE, taking the shape of a quadrilateral on each side of the St Lawrence River and stretching from Lake Nipissing and the 45th parallel to the Saint John River and Ile d'Anticosti.
		Since many of the province's inhabitants were, or had been, employed by fur-trade companies and merchants, their geographic universe was not limited to these official boundaries; it stretched westward to include the PAYS D'EN HAUT and the North-West, the source of the colony's main export.
		These boundaries were modified by the QUEBEC ACT (1774) to include the fishing zone off Labrador and the Lower North Shore and the FUR-TRADE area between the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and the Great Lakes.
