Remembering: Continental Army's Capture of Quebec

In 1775, after a failed attack, in September, Colonial forces marched on Montreal, Quebec, for a second time.

On November 13, 1775, Continental Army forces under Brigadier General Richard Montgomery took Montreal from British forces, without much fight from the defenders.

It would be one of the few Colonial victories in Canada.

By the end of December, British forces would devastate a Continental force attacking Quebec City.

The disastrous defeat there would mark the end of the invasion of Canada.
