Synopsis

This book is a frank and transparent review of the turbulent events in Quebec between 1756 and 1787. The author provides a bold exploration of how Quebec transitioned from military government to civil society after its 1756 conquest by Britain. The book brings into focus the relationship between the King's government, French law, and British common law. Further, the author examines in detail the complexities of Quebec's social structure. The book seeks to present a clear-eyed investigation of the period and explain how the region came to reconcile both legal systems into a cohesive society. This book will appeal to historians and readers with an interest in this period of Canadian history.
