I’m half Canadian and something my mom who is fully Canadian had told me is that the invasion of Canada by the United States isn’t a primary focus in their history in school, more so about native Canadian history.

[@maluse227]

I mean we dont really have a reason to cover it, like it happened but it was more important historically to Americans than it was to us since the country hadn't really been formalized yet in its construction and our culture didn't really change because of the American revolution. So we talk about the war and its aftermath but dont spend much time on it, when I was in school it was like what your mom said, we covered settler interactions with the indigenous peoples, then about our founding as a nation, then about how the provinces got formed, then a LOT about Quebec and it's issues with the rest of Canada. Then "modern" history of the 20th century, then we talk a bit about the genociding we did, then Quebec again, and that takes you to about the end of highschool.

[@Miniweet9167]

Canadians barely remember anything before WW1 whereas Quebecs Motto is « Je Me Souviens »

[@agilemind6241]

This particular attack on Canada isn't noteworthy from the Canadian perspective, in my school these type of things were covered as part of the formation of Canada which is framed as a response to the military threat of the USA to Canada from attacks like this one and the much larger one in 1812. But there were a bunch of little border skirmishes between the US & Canada around the times of the Revolutionary War and the US Civil War. Canadian schools don't cover the details of them because each individual one isn't particularly important - we mostly skip from the defeat of the French on the Plains of Abraham to the flood of Loyalists fleeing the US Revolutionary war, with a few short mentions of border skirmishes with the US, revolts by the French against English rule that as mentioned in this video was very oppressive, and the continuing importance of Native allies. Then we jump to the War of 1812, then to Confederation as a response to the British reducing their military presence after the War of 1812 and the threat of the US Civil War spilling over into Canada. Most of the Canadian perspective on history focuses on the relationships between the three founding peoples - the indigenous peoples, the French and the English - and the fluctuating tensions & oppression and alliances between them.

For those lacking such a skilled professor, the PBS cartoon "Liberty's Kids" actually has a pretty nuanced depiction of Arnold, including his various earlier accomplishments, and while it shows him constantly butting heads with other revolutionaries like Ethan Allen, he's not shown as explicitly wrong until the West Point betrayal.

[@GrantGraff]

Please, Please, Please, Please make a series on Lafayette. He is such an interesting person in history, being orphaned at 13, then joining the revolution at 18 against the orders of Louis the 17th, and then joining Washingtons army and making friends with Hamilton. He also spent thousands of his own money to fund the revolution and was one of the key players in getting France to bankroll the revolution. Not to mention he trapped Cornwallis in Yorktown which literally ended the revolution. Everything I just mentioned was just from his part in the American revolution. He played an even more important roll in the French Revolution, working with Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen. So please Extra History consiter making a series on him. It would be very much worth your time.

Control over Quebec City was much more important than is expressed here. It is *the* citadel on the St. Lawrence river, controlling any incursion further into Canada or south into the Colonies, leaving the British locked into Halifax, Boston, and New York City while the Continental Army mustered strength, order, and allies.

I'm Canadian born and raised. I love that you guys cover this event. I would like to suggest a topic that affected a demographic of French Canadians. The Acadian deportation. Something that happened during the 7 years war. Which is also the origins of the Cajuns in Louisiana. My mother is Acadian, straight from New Brunswick. This event has been more or less glossed over in Canadian history, but to the Acadians, it is still a massive point of contention. To the point that many still hold it against the British today.

[@bobmcrae5751]

I have zero sympathy for the Acadians. The British told them if they swore allegiance to the British crown they could practice their own religion and carry on living the way they had been. They refused, and the British, not wanting to have a rebellious population to control, removed the problem by removing the Acadians.

I second this. It's such an important event but completely glossed over. I don't recall ever learning why it happened only that it did.

[@collynbertin3260]

0 sympathy? Really. So let's say china or Russian invaded Canada/USA and demanded we change or get out, you would let them rule over you? Or would you prefer our government sends a military and try and fight back and defend? It's also worth remembering the deportariin happened right in the early years of Canada's formation so there is no standing army to defend themselves either. All things considered, I feel like the British handled it fairly well. They didn't massacre an entire population of people, and the threat of rebellion was removed. Maybe you're just the type to argue just for arguing. But if this is truly how you feel I'm sincerely scared for how narrow minded and unthinking the average population is becoming. I'm not saying the Acadians were right either. But I can at least understand both sides and sympathize with both viewpoints.

Fun fact: Many people sent to Nova Scotia were freed slaves who fought for Britain. They would be largely ignored and faced a lot of racism and segragation ;it also lead to a large African community and Nova Scotia having the largest population of African Canadians percentage wise with many direct of those descendents of freed people. Nova Scotia would be one of the early battle zones for civil rights, including Viola Desmond, who is often called the Canadian Rosa parks. It's totally off the topic of the video but just a neat fact showing how many ways the success of a few boston radicals reshapes the destinies of people across the continent, both good and bad!

@7:55 Those who moved to "Quebec Province" then to Nova Scotia have to consider that the Acadian Colony was a separate entity from the rest of the French holdings, and the British took several steps to disenfranchise the French speakers of the former Acadia Colony, most infamously the deportations of 1755-1762 (most people forget about this, as it coincides with the Seven Years War) seeing 3/4 of all Acadians deported to other locations. I am saying this because Nova Scotia, by 1775, had seen two to three generations (60 odd years) of Anglicization compared to Quebec. As such, Quebec was just not as attractive compared to the future maritime provinces. That, and to get to Nova Scotia from the Great Lakes also meant you had to go through rebel territory, as well as the possible lawlessness associated with it (contemporary examples are the Harpe Brothers, who were both the earliest documented serial killers in the USA and veterans of Loyalist Militia).

[@kathyastrom1315]

My 6th great grandfather was in the 2nd New Hampshire regiment. After the siege of Boston was won, they were sent to Quebec as part of the “trickle of reinforcements” spoken of here.

They then stayed at Fort Ticonderoga until moving south to join Washington’s troops before Trenton and Princeton.

Little correction : it took a couple of centuries, not decades, for the British to start calling themselves canadians. That's why the Montreal hockey club (fonded in 1909) is called Canadiens, because it was, at the begining, a french speaking hockey club, vs the marrons, who was the english club.

Within decades, the loyalists hadn't adopted the name Canadians. It took them over a century and it wasn't until the early 20th century that they did so. It was used, generally in its French form, to deride the French speaking population and was seen as backwater and derogatory.

The Discovery Channel show, "Drain the Oceans," did an episode focused on discoveries related to the U.S. Revolutionary War. Part of the episode focused on Lake Champlain and, in particular, one or more make-shift gunboats, used by Arnold and his retreating troops, that were found at the bottom of the deep lake. The boats had been requisitioned, shallow-draft, cargo boats typically used for transporting timber and other natural resources/goods across the lake. The boats had been rapidly retrofitted to carry "lightweight" cannons (relative to most naval guns) in order to slow down the British regulars; Arnold recognizing that his improved-lake-fleet did not have the firepower to turn-back the British fresh-water navy that had been deployed, but his boats were low in the water so actually harder for the regular British ships to hit; of course, it would only take one good hit to sink these relatively flimsy Continental boats. It is a fascinating episode all around as it also includes finding ships purposely sunk by Lord Cornwallis around Yorktown prior to the siege by the Continental and French army as well as by the French Navy; the ships being sunk in strategic positions to prevent the French ships from having a clear approach from the river/sea.

While the Americans had to retreat from Canada, they did try to make a stand a few times against the advancing British reinforcements. Most notably, they tried to make an offensive action with 2000 soldiers (with Arthur St Clair and Anthony Wayne amongst the officers) against the British who were in the town of Trois-Rivières. Unfortunately, since they didn't know the area, they were purposely mislead by a French Canadian guide. A good chunk of them ended up lost in the surrounding swamps while the others were led directly in front of the entrenched British who were expecting them. After a chaotic fight, the Americans were forced to retreat. Many officers and soldiers were captured, but the majority were allowed to escape by Carleton perhaps because he believed that the defeated army would spread panic amongst the rest of the American forces.

Not really, at the time Canada was mainly populated by the French settlers but governed relatively oppressively by the English. Carlton probably enjoyed the siege as an excuse to crack down on the population and route out revolutionaries.

I always find the branding of Arnold as a "traitor" odd and entertaining. The entire Revolutionary War was one of traitors against the crown and Great Britain. So branding Benedict Arnold as a traitor means he's a traitor to traitors and therefore a man who's returned to the flock, though that makes him a turncoat twice over.

[@williamlemay8741]

That’s exactly the point: nobody trusts a turncoat; Most British officers and loyalists saw Arnold as an opportunist with no loyalty to the Crown or Parliament. Even if the colonists were traitors, they stuck to their convictions, even when defeated. Arnold was seen as a man who who would switch side for money:rank just because he was bitter for being passed over for promotion and for slights on his personal honour.

[@crhu319]

Correct. Arnold wasn't received with the honours due to a real warfighter who made operations work that should not have. Like John Graves Simcoe. He and Washington were a mirror pair in some ways.
