Battle of Quebec-1775

Battle of Quebec – December 31, 1775

   

  On the night that Colonel Benedict Arnold and General Richard Montgomery led the American troops on a battle against the British holding of Quebec, there was a blizzard which was unfavorable to the colonial side. The poor judgment of their officials led to the first major defeat of the Americans in the American Revolution. Although both sides started out with 1,200 soldiers, the American attempt to gain French support led to the British losing 20 men, while the Americans lost 500, including Richard Montgomery, and nearly 400 were imprisoned. Because of the ambush, Britain planned an attack on the Americans while their troops were still weak and forced labor was made more difficult for those who supported the rebels.
