General Washington sent troops to capture Quebec in an effort to gain control of Canada and bolster support for the American Revolutionary cause. By securing Quebec, he hoped to undermine British influence in the region and encourage Canadian colonists to join the revolution. This campaign aimed to open a new front against the British and potentially draw additional resources and allies to the American side. Ultimately, the attempt to capture Quebec in 1775 was unsuccessful, but it highlighted Washington's strategic vision for expanding the revolution.
