American Commander
General Richard Montgomery

British Commander
General Guy Carleton

The Battle of Quebec took place on December 31st, 1775. General Montgomery's army marched to it's next target, Quebec. With the help of Benedict Arnold and Daniel Morgan, they had a total of 800 soldiers. General Carleton, who had escaped from Montreal, arrived at Quebec as last-minute reinforcements. The British now had a total of 1,800 men defending Quebec, and Montgomery didn't know it.

Montgomery decided to attack on the last day of the year to avoid losing portions of his men due to expiring enlistments. Montgomery, Arnold, and Morgan led the attack, using a blinding snowstorm as cover.

Unfortunately, the British spotted them anyway and opened fire. Montgomery was killed early on in the battle, turning command over to Arnold. Arnold got wounded early on in the battle as well, transferring command to Morgan. Morgan fought hard to take the city, until the British surrounded him and captured him, along with 426 of his men.

On that day, 60 of the colonials were either killed or wounded, while only 5 British soldiers were killed and 13 were wounded.
