We have made a royal proclamation to territories that belonged to us. This is so that The Crown would have to make agreements with First Nations. Britain had hoped that settlers would go to Quebec, but they couldn't because most of the lands were filled with French speaking catholic farmers. Colonists weren't happy in Quebec ether. British merchants made complaints the Governor James Murray were treating the French better than them. Guy Carelton replaced James Murray as Governor. This didn't change that the merchants complaints. Guy Carleton found that the French caused him fewer issues than the merchants. Governor Carleton recommended that Britain keep the French as welcome as possible. This was to make sure that if Britain was to go into war with the Thirteen Colonies, we would have Quebec on our side. I haven't really thought about a war between Britain and the Thirteen Colonies. I just sense that something like this is coming up...
Sincerely,
Mike Anderson
