__Invasion of quebec-__ In 1774, the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act, which allowed the people in quebec to keep their Roman Catholic religion and the French Civil Code. The British also made longer the boundaries of Quebec to include the Ohio and Illinois Country. As a effect the Quebec Act is considered by historians as one of the triggers of the American Revolution. Following the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1775, the invasion of Quebec was one of the first major military operations done by the Continental Army. The objective of the operations was to capture the area of Quebec and convince the French-speaking population to join the American Revolution, on the side of the Thirteen Colonies.
