Hearing about Benedict Arnold is always so funny to me as a Canadian. Because before we learned about him in history class, I learned about him from extra history and oversimplified and other American sources. So I learned about him as a villain, and then in our Canadian textbooks he’s considered a hero (I personally consider him as an opportunist). And it’s really interesting to see the different perspectives clashing, makes me wonder about different perspectives we’ll never hear because the other side was wiped out.

@Xerxes2005 Ай бұрын

Let's not give the Brits too much credit. The reason why they gave us all that was to keep us in the Empire. It was not an act of generosity, but of pragmatism. The 1763 Royal Proclamation's goal was to make Americans migrate to the new Province of Quebec by blocking any migration to the West by giving these territories to the Indians, to destroy the Catholic Church and the Canadien aristocracy. It failed. The Americans never moved North. Why? 1) Too cold! 2) Too Catholic! 3) Too French! So, seeing the turmoil in its 13 colonies, and considering the colony will always remain mostly French, the British government switched to plan B (Quebec Act of 1774) and gave to the Canadien elite what it wanted to control the Canadien population: Abolition of the Test Oath, French civil laws (which helped the Canadien nobility), nomination of a new Catholic bishop and re-establishment of the right to tithe (which helped the clergy). When those Loyalists started flooding the place, things went the other way around rather quickly...

2:54 - *_And 3. Most French Canadians/Quebecers of the time used the name “Canadien” to refer to their French speaking compatriots at that time: since simply French (Or “Français” as they said) referred to people from France itself. They also used the term Canadian to differentiate from most English Speaking people of Canada who largely did not identify themselves as Canadian yet, but instead still held hon strongly to being people of the British Empire in the same way as anyone living on the British isles (Regardless of if they were born on those isles or in North-America._* *_So kudos for using the term correctly and for looking into the proper identifications/names of the time!

@theflyingdutchie2585 A young Polish volunteer, who was the best military engineer in the Continental Army. Among other things, he greatly contributed to the victory in the Saratoga campaign (as did Arnold). Later, he designed and constructed the fortifications at West Point. Arnold betrayed the American side by giving the plans of these very fortifications to the British, so their stories crossed again. Then Kościuszko did a lot of even more interesting things after returning home, which would be a great topic for an Extra History series. Let's just say that, although he was ultimately unsuccessful in his endeavors, he's pretty much considered the greatest hero in Polish history. He's also considered their national hero by Lithuanians and many Belarusians. He was also generally very progressive for his times.

Basically the two colonies of New Hampshire and New York both claimed the area, giving people permission to colonize it. Since both where English colonies the battle was mostly legal, and New York won. The people who lived there under the New Hampshire charters had their charters revoked, meaning they either had to buy their land again or they would get kicked off of it. But they realized that since everyone else in the area was also there on New Hampshire grants they could just shoot New Yorkers instead. In other words their main problems with New Yorkers was the British rules taking their land, so it is entirely reasonable and they where basically already anti-British :V

The term "Province of Quebec" was a British exonym to the French Colony of Canada. All french speakers not born in France considered themselves "canadiens" hence the hockey team's name. It was the British who gave birth to Quebec as a state. They then renamed the United colonies as Canada and adopted the name canadians, but the now reorganized french speakers continued to consider the country inhabited with "canadiens-français" and "les anglais". They only really considered themselves "québécois" after the quiet revolution in the late 1950s.

Dude, they have a Patreon voting system, lay off a bit. I'm also willing to bet it's on their shortlist, but someone who's actually a patron can maybe add to this

Thanks for covering this, I was born and raised in Plattsburgh NY on Lake Chanplaon between Ticonderoga and Quebec. You should read into the Battle of Plattsburgh wild story of the largest invasion of the US.

Benedict Arnold would've been so famous if not for the whole defecting thing.

Speaking of Phillip Schuyler... his daughter Angelica Church nee Schuyler was a fascinating figure in her own right. Despite being married she exchanged flirty letters with Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton (who happened to be her brother in law), she also charmed Martha Washington and was basically a celebrity by 1700s/1800s standards.

I would like a video on the history of Quebec and french-canadian population, like the battle of Abraham plains

As a Canadian, it's really interesting to see this from the other side.

I think it's interesting that Benedict Arnold is only so synonymous with "traitor" because he once was a legitimate hero to the continental army.

We learn this story from a different perspective in Quebec. I’m curious how you will cover the rest.
