When the British won the Battle of Quebec what happen?
The first effect of the english conquest of Quebec was the royal procalmation, an english act that narrowed Quebec to not much more than the St-Laurent french settlement. They imposed the "serment du test". It was a written obligation to leave the catholic religion in favor of Anglican, If the obligation were not to be signed, it was forbidden for the french to get and hold any business other than fishing and farming. They abolish the catholic church and destroyed seminaries. They constructed what was considered essential: horse race ring, prisons, and gallows in Quebec, Montral and Trois-Rivieres.
On the good side, they imported the concept of inoncence until prooved guilty in court (under French law, you were guilty as charge until you prooved your innocence),.
And, of course, Quebec became English possession.
