Seven Years' War and Revolution Causes · US History

The Quebec Act (1774) angered American colonists because it:

  1. Extended the boundaries of Quebec into the Ohio River Valley and recognized the Catholic Church
  2. Forced the citizens of Quebec to pay the Stamp Tax
  3. Banned all trade and commercial exchange between the thirteen American colonies and British Canada
  4. Required colonists to move to Quebec to help defend it
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Extended the boundaries of Quebec into the Ohio River Valley and recognized the Catholic Church

Though intended to stabilize Canada, the Quebec Act was seen by colonists as part of the 'Intolerable Acts.' They feared the loss of Western land claims and the expansion of a non-representative government and Catholicism.
