It is 1774 in America. Most of the colonies are angry at Britain and begin to prepare to fight a war of independence. Britain, not wanting to lose her colonies, decides not to pass the Quebec Act of 1774. In 1775, the colonies are given representation in the British Parliament. This lessens support for a rebellion, but one happens anyway. Due to less support, however, this rebellion is crushed at the Battle of Long Island, where most of George Washington's force is defeat or captured.
In Quebec, French-speaking colonists were angry at Britain for suppressing their religion and culture. A small rebellion occurs, but is very limited. It is quickly crushed as troops coming from Rupert's Land and America fight in the war.
With these rebellions ended, any hope for American or Canadian independence is ended for at least the next 20 years.
