Siege Arnold refused to give up and—despite being outnumbered by three to one—lay siege to Quebec, despite the sub-freezing temperature of the winter and the mass desertions of his men after their enlistments expired on January 1,1776. By March 1776, the first American reinforcements arrived which brought the total to 2,000 men. But unable to renew an assault on the city, the siege continued until over 8,000 British reinforcements arrived on May6, 1776, which forced the American army to retreat south and back to the New York colony.

Who wrote the section on the aftermath? The English used is appalling! Darkmind1970 12:02, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian/Canadien

In this article shouldn't they be reffered to as Canadiens rather then Canadians? Lyynn

[edit] Strongly biased

Ths article is currently strongly biased and retconed to a Quebecois nationalist PoV, to the point of inventing 30,000 British troops and a "reign of terror". 67th Tigers 13:35, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] United States?

Identifying one side as the "United States" in a battle that was fought in December of 1775 seems a bit anachronistic. The "United States" didn't exist either in fact or in law until July 4, 1776. The term "American Revolutionaries," used in the Invasion of Canada (1775) article on the campaign, seems more appropriate. Jsc1973 02:59, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
