Respuesta :
French Canadians had been satisfied by the British government's Quebec Act of 1774, which offered religious and linguistic toleration; in general, they did not sympathize with a rebellion that they saw as being led by Protestants from New England, who were their commercial rivals and hereditary enemies.
The reason why the British were especially happy when former military people settled in the region was because of the increased protection from natives and other enemies.
Why did the British encourage former military to settle in the Americas?
