Event
Quebec Act
The Quebec Act was a British law of 1774 for the government of the Province of Quebec. It guaranteed free practice of the Catholic faith, restored French civil law while keeping English criminal law, and extended the province to the Ohio valley and the Great Lakes. Welcomed by the Canadian clergy and seigneurs, it angered the Thirteen Colonies, which counted it among the Intolerable Acts.
