The rebels did find intolerable that the quebecois were given any rights, they tended to be quite anti-catholic, a trait that later shows up as a justification when the slavers take Tejas and other mexicano territory It was considered even more intolerable when Whitehall stated that treaties signed should be honoured ... this was a greater cause of the rebellion than any other, because it meant no more land speculation using other peoples' lands, treaties having been signed with a variety of nations to the west of the colonies .... most of the fortunes made to that time had come from land speculation, not the year-to-year harvests of the planters .... very few US nationals know the whole story, jttmab, good for you .... cheers
