Northeast

Although not as contested as countries to the south and west, this region was the key to the survival of British North America. If the United States had succeeded in cutting the British St. Lawrence River supply route at Montreal, all of Upper Canada would have fallen into American hands. Support for the conflict was uneven on both sides of the Northeast border region. Vermonters supplied the British Army with supplies, while no one knew how Lower Canada’s French Canadians would respond to a U.S. invasion.
