jun 22, 1774 - The Quebec Act
Description:
The Quebec Act was passed by the British parliament to institute a permanent administration in Canada replacing the temporary government created at the time of the proclamation of 1763. It gave the French Canadians complete religious freedom and restored the French form of civil law. The thirteen colonies considered this law one of the Intolerable Acts, for it nullified many of the Western claims of the coast colonies by extending the boundaries of the province of Quebec to the Ohio River on the South and the Mississippi on the West.
