You could do a report on the effect of Sir Guy Carleton's Governorship of Canada had on the Canadian Provinces not joining the other Colonies in the Revolution. Contrast him with the Governor's of another colonies. It has always been a facination of mine that the Canadians of Quebec, especially, didn't join the lower colonies given the short time between the French and Indian war and the American Revolution. It has ben my belief that if we had had Governor's of Carelton's caliber we would all be speaking English instead of American.

Woah!

I had absolutely no clue that some of the Canadian colonists considered joining the Americans after the revolution. All I knew is that the ones opposed to the revolution fled up north. So now the Quebec act while ensuring loyalty to Britain (and preventing it from becoming part of the US), cemented French culture into Canada. Interesting!

Thanks for the topic! I will definitely look and try to do this one as long as I get enough sources.

And thanks to all who gave me ideas to look up. Much appreciated.

How about a discussion of the fact that the Quebecois are a bunch of panty waist cheese eating surrender monkey wannabes?
