31 December 1775
Outside Quebec City, Lower Canada, British North America (Disputed with the United States of Congress Assembled)
Four men sit in a camp tent, discussing the future of a plan formulated previously. Those four men, Richard Montgomery, Benedict Arnold, Daniel Morgan, and James Livingston, lead the armies of the United States of Congress Assembled. They recently have been rebelling from British rule, however, there Canadian cousins to the north where very hesitant to rebel. A fifth man walks into the tent. This man is not an American, in the sense of being a rebel, nor was he an Englishman. This man, however, held the fate of the other four in his hands. This man was Guy Carleton.
"Mr. Carleton, thank you for coming." General Montgomery says.
"Mr. Montgomery thank you for having me." Carleton says. "Back in Ireland, there was a caste system. The English where treated about the Scots, the Scots above the Irish, and the Catholics where treated the worst of all. I applied to lead Quebec to get away from it all, but I'm still disgusted by the way the French are treated. I cannot, on my own conscience, serve the British any longer. I want to join your revolution."
"Mr. Carleton, that is good news to hear." Montgomery says.
With that, the Battle of Quebec is won before it began. With Carleton in favor of the colonists, and the Catholics always having been in support of the colonists, Canada was now in the hands of the Americans.
Hello.
So, um, I'm new here. The POD ITTL is 1) better treatment of the Catholics in Canada and 2) Carleton joins the American Revolution. Any feedback, positive or negative, is appreciated.
