Madelaine DrohanBy April 1776, the American invasion of Canada was foundering, in part because the invaders were mistreating ordinary French Canadians.
“The peasantry in general have been ill-used,” rebel officer Moses Hazen admitted to a superior officer #OTD April 1, 1776. “They have in some instances been dragooned at the point of a bayonet to supply wood for the garrison at a lower rate than the current price.”
The invaders were also paying Canadians for things like carriages with certificates that were not honoured by the army quarter master because the signature was illegible or missing. The French Canadians were starting to think the Continental Congress was bankrupt, Hazen wrote.
As for the elite, which included the clergy and seigneurs, he thought seven-eighths supported the British and “would wish to see our throats cut and perhaps would readily assist in doing it.”

#Americans are no slouch in this matter. #AmericanRevolution started & ended, with declaration of independence and all, before the French even got started.
The French did invent the #guillotine though. What will Americans invent?

csAbigail Adams’ 1776 “remember the ladies” letter sits at a turning point in how marriage was understood, as ideas shifted from Enlightenment coverture toward companionate marriage. Historians now read the letter less as a call for suffrage and more as a plea for women’s legal protection within marriage. #History #AbigailAdams #WomensHistory #MarriageHistory #AmericanRevolution 🎧 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/podcast/series/theres-more-to-that/season-2/real-story-behind-abigail-adams-remember-ladies-letter/

I worry sometimes that young people might not be interested in history. That certainly wasn’t the case yesterday, when I talked about my book at Nipissing University in North Bay, ON.
Three organizations — Canadian International Council, Nipissing district branch; the history department at the university; and the Village at Canadore College — combined forces to organize a fun event with lots of good questions.
Special thanks to John Allison, Micheline Demers, and Nate Kozuskanich for making it happen.
