Well it was a turning point for the british. It cut off one of the main trade/travel routs of the French; it was an ambush of the French commander Marquis de Montcalm (mark-KEE deh mont-KAHM). When the surprised French commander learned what the british had done, he ordered an immediate attack. He hoped to defeat the British before they could become entrenched. But the British routed the French with their indian allies. Both Wolfe and Montcalm were mortally wounded in the battle. With their commander dead and their troops disorganized, the French surrendered Quebec.
