Title: Conquered and the Conquerors - British Control of Quebec - Battle for ...
 
Type: Document
Description: After the conquest, a new Canada slowly took shape. The Canadian militia returned to their villages and farms. 500 French soldiers, married to Canadian women, were allowed to stay. 3000 British troops remained in Quebec. Bigot was put in the Bastille for corruption, and died in exile in 1778. Governor Vaudreuil was arrested for his role in the colony's loss. General James Wolfe became a virtual industry in death, as biographies, ballads, epic poems, and paintings of him abounded. From the television series "Canada: A People's History." Includes links to educational resources, bibliography, games, puzzles, and video clips.

Title: Social Changes
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: The new British way of defending colonies led to great social changes in Canada during the late 18th century. With no professional colonial army to join, the elite of Canadian society lost much income and influence. As well, British soldiers developed no roots in the colony.

Title: A New, British, System
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: Britain did not have a large army during the 18th century. Instead, it depended on the Royal Navy. Regiments in the small British army served in both Britain and its colonies, moving every few years to a new station. There was no special colonial army, such as France had kept in Canada.

Title: Pay
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: A soldier's pay was never high, and very seldom adjusted as the cost of living increased. From 1797 to 1867, the rate was a shilling (12 pence) a day, from which deductions were made for food, clothing and other expenses. Little money would be left to spend as a man wished.

Title: Barracks
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: The British garrison in Canada lived almost exclusively in barracks during the 18th and 19th centuries, unlike troops during the earlier French regime. This made British troops a somewhat isolated society within the colony as a whole. The authorities felt that this improved discipline.

Title: Meals
 
Type: Document
Online Reference Books
Description: British army rations during the 18th and 19th centuries were dull but adequate. Each day, a man got 1 pound (489 g) of bread or flour, 1 pound of beef (or ½ pound of salt pork), a little butter and cheese and a pint (0.568 l) of beer. Vegetables or other items had to be bought by the soldier.
