Question

During the American Revolution, Canada was eager to join the American independence movement. (T/F)

Answer 1

False. During the American Revolution, Canada was not eager to join the American independence movement. Most French and British Canadians remained loyal to Britain, and the war in the north went badly for the Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

False

During the American Revolution, the Americans had hoped to convince at least some Canadians to join their cause in revolt against the British Crown. However, most French and British Canadians remained loyal to Britain. After the American Revolution, many Loyalists who had stayed in the American Colonies moved to Canada to continue as British subjects. By 1812, some Americans believed that an invasion of Canada would trigger a Canadian revolt and help ensure an American victory, but they were wrong.

The war in the north went badly for the Americans at every stage.
