Talk:Invasion of Quebec (1775)

message: That is a good idea, they are both part of the same campaign and together they might make a good artical. I've added a bit to this one here so I say go for it. Marc29th 22:34, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Merger seems reasonable, but Arnold expedition is probably the better name. It can be used in text without piping; and it may avoid PoV protests. Septentrionalis 05:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Arnold expedition article says that that title refers to the Eastern advance on Quebec City up the Kennebec River. hte campaign box refers to them collectively as te "Canada Campaign".  Mike McGregor (Can) 08:47, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I now think the scope of this article should be expanded to include everything in the campaignbox, which covers both the American invasion of 1775 and Carleton's counter-invasion of 1776. Basically, then, the Canadian theater of the war up until the Saratoga campaign. The reason for this is I believe every campaignbox (which cover both campaigns and theaters) needs its own article, in order to keep the main article (American Revolutionary War) at a reasonable length. Carleton's counter-offensive is important enough to cover at length, and this should be the place to do it. This holds true whether or not Arnold's expedition is merged into this article. It can always be a "daughter" article, with a brief summary here. --Kevin Myers | (complaint dept.) 23:32, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The accounts I've seen about the Arnold Expedition, in print and online, were clear on the poor construction of the bateaux, which were unrowable, weighed about 400 pounds apiece, and were a horror to get over the portages. However, all of the online references I've seen that excuse the quality of the bateaux, on the grounds that Colburn was obliged to use green lumber at that time of year, trace back to a single source: a descendant of Colburn's who's been singlemindedly championing his cause. What I haven't seen is him citing any source(s) for that assertion. The Arnold Expedition wasn't heavily documented, and I'm not aware of any contemporary account that discusses the particular circumstances of Colburn's design decisions. 
Also, the claim seems a little odd on the face of it. What does season have to do with green lumber? Trees are green in season, but that's not the same "green" that's meant when talking about lumber. Newly cut lumber, a.k.a. green lumber, is green in any season.
If sustained, this objection also applies to the entry on Major Reuben Colburn. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.225.217.252 (talk) 16:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: How can they invade a place that is called Canada in 1775 ?
when in reality it is officially called : The Province of Quebec 
Since the Quebec act of 1774  ?
Since there is no Canada anymore and the province of Quebec
is just another colony their is no such thing as an invasion
It's the american revolution in one of the british colony 
To pass this as a separate country of Canada is simply untrue
And the British never called themselves canadien at that time 
Campain in the Province of Quebec in 1775 is a possible name for the article
Of course If your not interested in acuracy any version can do
But this misleading title is simply wrong 
It's not because all book get it wrong that wikipedia should follow
Where is Canada in this map ? :
http://www.britannica.com/ebc/art-73497/The-Province-of-Quebec-1774
Their is no such things as Canada in 1775 
Canada was invaded and his name removed by the British by the Quebec Act of 1774.
--The protagonists in this war were the Americans (or Patriots), the Loyalists, the Canadians and the Natives nations. "Canadians" referred to the French-speaking population of the Province of Quebec of that time. The Canadians did not perceive themselves as "French", hence the need for a name of their own. The British -including those who would later call themselves (English) Canadians- were Loyalists. Please be respectful of historiography; this is the norm not only in informal writings, but in history books. --  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.42.8 (talk) 00:52, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Canada did not existe in 1775 

message: http://www.biographi.ca/EN/ShowBio.asp?BioId=36577&query=hazen
The american intention was never to invade Quebec but to liberate them 
The only reason they continued was because people IN quebec told them to come in :
The american were going back when they were INVITED TO COME BACK...
Philip John Schuyler, and told of bleak prospects for American success. As a result, a council of war decided to abort the invasion, but it reversed its decision when James Livingston*, an American established at Chambly, described the situation in a far more optimistic light.
300 people from Quebec won the victory at fort Chambly
This is hardly an Invasion
And people in Montréal wrote congratulation to their american liberator 
(letter of Valentin Jautard)
-- Well, given the British jurisdiction in the area, it could at least be called an occupation now, could it?--  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.42.8 (talk) 00:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The region of Vaudreuil is where the City of les cèdres is (The city of Cedars)
So the battle in the region of Vaudreuil happened in the city of The Cedars
There is no other battle, exept one in Longueil in front of Montréal between Brown and Carleton

message: The name Canada came from Jacques Cartier from on one of his expeditions to 'The Orient' was to Canada from where he met the First Nations people and after asking them what thou land shall be called, they told him 'Canada' so thus, the name Canada comes through. This was somewhat during the 1600's, I think..  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.244.11.113 (talk) 02:18, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Seems to me that the arrow from Montreal to Quebec city should be pointing at Sainte-Foy, where the first battles occured, and not Pointe-aux-Trembles, the latter being located on the island of Montreal.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.197.71.189 (talk) 15:43, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Greetings.  I'm not sure why you are referring to Sainte-Foy -- that name is given to a battle in 1760.  The Battle of Quebec (1775) took place in the lower city.  You should also be aware that, in 1775, "Pointe-aux-Trembles" was the place now known as Neuville, Quebec, which is not on Montreal island. Magic♪piano 19:54, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Invasion of Quebec (1775) →  – Only name. The article Siege of Mariupol is not called Siege of Mariupol (2022) because of the Battle of Mariupol (1919). Per WP:TITLEDAB, disambiguation is only necessary when there is otherwise an actual conflict in article titles. No such conflict in titles exists. Per WP:AT, concision is preferred over unnecessary precision. Parham wiki (talk) 13:03, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
