conflict between British and Quebec in 1750s
From 1760 to 1791 there was great conflicts and pressure in North America, after the British conquest. The new society has formed the British colony of the province of Quebec and attempted to try to change many of the rules made by the British administrators. ... The French were more interested in controlling continental Europe and the British were more interested in establishing a worldwide colonial empire. War was declared between the French and the British because, their goals were alike. Although the French had more territory, the British had a strong navy and a bigger army. During the war time, the British government had a military government in the Province of Quebec. ... The British officials renamed Quebec “The Province of Quebec”. ... After the Seven Years War, the British governor replaced the military government. The government was set up like this; the British King appointed a governor. ... The goal of the Royal Proclamation was to assimilate French-speaking Canadians and make them British. ... There could be no new Roman Catholic bishop allowed in the British colony of Quebec. ... French-speaking Canadians had to learn English and had to accept the way of British government system. ... French Canadians finally, began to be dissatisfied and went to protest against the British laws (Michel p438). A civil government was established in August 1764, the first governor in the province of Quebec, James Murray assumed that the Royal Proclamation wouldn’t work due to the small number amount of British population against the huge amount of French population. ... So he tried to conciliate French Canadians, allowing Monseigneur Briand to become the new Roman Catholic bishop, because he knew that the Americans soon will attack the British colony so he had to conciliate them as soon as possible.
