The document summarizes events leading up to and following the American Revolution as they relate to Quebec and British North America. It discusses the Intolerable Acts that angered the colonists, the Continental Congress of 1774 which invited Quebec and Nova Scotia to join but they declined. It then describes the failed American invasion of Quebec in 1775-1776 and the consequences of the revolution, including Britain recognizing the vulnerability of its remaining colonies. The Constitution Act of 1791 dealt with the influx of Loyalists into Quebec and Nova Scotia after the revolution.
