- C.

Correct Answer
B. Desire to expand their land holdings moving WestExplanation
The correct answer is "desire to expand their land holdings moving West". This answer is supported by the statement that the English felt trapped into the area of the 13 Colonies. If they had a desire to expand their land holdings, it suggests that they wanted to move beyond the confines of the 13 Colonies and explore and settle in new territories to the west. This desire for expansion aligns with the idea of feeling trapped and wanting to break free from the limited area they were confined to.Rate this question:

- D.

Correct Answer
D. British to easily assimilate the French Canadiens into the colonyExplanation
After the War ended in 1763, the British were able to easily assimilate the French Canadiens into the colony. With the French defeated, the British had control over the colony and could enforce their own policies and culture. This likely led to the assimilation of the French Canadiens into the British way of life, as they had no other option but to adapt. The defeat of the French also weakened the Canadiens' position and made it easier for the British to assert their dominance and influence over the colony.Rate this question:

This means that it aimed to integrate and absorb these groups into the British colonial society, erasing their distinct cultures and identities. The proclamation sought to impose British laws, customs, and institutions on the Canadiens and First Nations people, ultimately diminishing their autonomy and sovereignty. This policy of assimilation was a significant aspect of British colonial rule in North America during this time period.Rate this question:

Therefore, all of these answers are correct in explaining the provisions of the Quebec Act of 1774.Rate this question:

The Quebec Act of 1774 had many effects upon the colony in Canada. The most important of these effects was:
- A.
The creation of a unified colony
- B.
The appeasement of the British colonists
- C.
The early stages of bilingualism in Canada
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. The early stages of bilingualism in CanadaExplanation
The Quebec Act of 1774 had a significant impact on the colony in Canada by introducing the early stages of bilingualism. This act recognized the French language and Catholic religion, allowing French Canadians to retain their customs and institutions. It also expanded the territory of Quebec, which led to an increase in the French-speaking population. This laid the foundation for the bilingual nature of Canada today, where both English and French are official languages. The act did not create a unified colony or solely appease British colonists, making the option "none of the above" incorrect.Rate this question:
