The Americans attacked Montreal during the Revolutionary War as part of their broader campaign to gain control over Canada, believing that the Canadian population would support their cause against British rule. In 1775, American forces aimed to capture the city to disrupt British supply lines and potentially recruit Canadians to their side. The attack, however, faced logistical challenges and resistance, ultimately leading to American withdrawal and a failure to secure Montreal. This campaign highlighted the difficulties the Americans faced in extending their revolution beyond their borders.
