General Montgomery and General Arnold wanted to surround the city of Quebec from the east and west.

Instead of attacking head-on through the walls of the city, General Montgomery decided to go through the less secured shores of the river. But many aspects caused the attack to be ineffective. ]]> 2020-08-28 17:23:24 UTC https://padlet.com/19070171/hiabcf25h50kj63x/wish/705619948 19070171 https://padlet.com/19070171/hiabcf25h50kj63x/wish/705620635 The British used very effective strategies to gain the upper hand in this battle.
