French & indian wars?

I don't know about that the Canadian history I learned told us that it was the deciding battle for what is now Canada. Wolfe led his forces up the steep St. Lawernce River embankment to the Plains of Abraham and defeated the forces defending the fortress town of Quebec, leaving the French unable to defend the mouth of the river and the route to the rich heartland of North America. Both Wolfe and the Defending General Montcalm succumbed to thir wounds after the battle. After the war which Canadian and probably English and French History, call "The Seven Years War" Upper and Lower Canada (Ontario and Quebec) and Acadia (the present Maritime provinces) were ceded by France to the English. Who made consessions to the population of Quebec allowing French language and French Civil law (an unfortunate precident I believe) and deported most of the residents of Acadia to Louisianna. There are still quite a few Acadians remaining in northern New Brunswick. They have a vibrant and charming folk culture and a wonderful French musical heritage which is actually quite distinct from Quebec's.

One result of the Seven year's War was limiting France's posessions in North America to the wonderful Islands of St Pierre et Miquelon, off the south coast of Newfoundland. They remain a beautiful cultural and political outpost of France to this day.

Here is an interesting account of the battle for the plains of Abraham
