The passage of the quebec act aroused intense American fears because?

The Quebec Act of 1774 was passed by the British parliament as a response to the failures of the Royal Proclamation of 1763.

The Royal Proclamation had intended to bring the French in Quebec into the

English culture, though recognized as a goal which would take time. The idea was to

amalgamate the French within the existing majority English culture which had dominated by

the victory in the 7 Years was (1756-1763).

However it failed.

Therefore by 1774 the British realized they had better do something to ameliorate their

relationship with the French, as well as being aware of the dangers of having an angry

Quebec if and when their 13 Colonies to the south, the Americans, rebelled.

Therefore, the Quebec Act had the effect of providing more guarantees for the

enfranchisement of the French culture and institutions in Quebec.

This was feared by the 13 Colonies to the south because it meant when the rebellion

did start, in a year or so after the Quebec Act, their was less chance that the

Quebecois would join the 13 Colonies, as the 14th Colony in the rebellion.

In fact Quebec remained "loyal" to the English, and this made it harder for the 13 Colonies to gain more control than they did.

Had the Quebecois joined the American revolution there is a good chance that Canada

would be part of the United States today.

Why do old city neighborhoods get rundown?

The obvious answer is "Because without maintenance and occasional renovation everything old gets rundown." Of course that avoids the issue of why old neighbourhoods tend to enter a phase where everyone stops doing that maintenance and renovation. To a large extent, that's because of real estate depreciation. Even with maintenance, property values tend to steadily go down over time. As the price to live there gets cheaper, more and more people living marginal existences move in and with them come the people who prey upon those people. Those people tend to be less likely to maintain their property so they neglect it and of course that drives real estate values down even further and the more entropy they see around them the more people are inclined to just give up and let it go. This trend tends to continue until something happens like artists making an area hip, or a real estate guy taking advantage of the low property values to do some king of major development that will level most of the neighbourhood and push the marginalised inhabitants into some other neighbourhood on the downward slide, continuing the cycle.

What is the Quebec separatist movement?

It was a movement in the 60's that involved a huge national terrorist group called the FLQ (Front de liberation du Quebec). They firmly believed that Quebec should separate from Canada, and become it's own, French-speaking country. The FLQ was responsible for over 200 bombings, stealing $50, 000, kidnapping the British Trade Commisioner, James Cross and for murdering the Quebec Labour Minister, Pierre Laporte. They also killed 5 other people in their bombings. Their attacks culminated with the October Crisis as well, and they're reign of terror went on until 1971. They used a clandestine cell system to operate, for example, they would have different groups of terrorists throughout Quebec and Canada, and that group would not act until told to do so by their leader or boss.
