In the frosty winter of 1775, as the American colonies were in the throes of their struggle for independence, an audacious campaign was launched northward into British-occupied Canada. The Battle of Quebec on December 31, 1775, was a defining moment, marking the peak of this northern expedition and one of the first significant defeats for the American forces in the Revolutionary War.

The idea was simple yet ambitious: secure Canada to prevent British troops from attacking from the north and to possibly gain an ally in the fight against British rule.
Two American forces, led by General Richard Montgomery and Colonel Benedict Arnold, converged on Quebec City after grueling marches through harsh terrain and weather.
Montgomery came from Montreal, where he had captured the city earlier that year, while Arnold, after a legendary trek through the Maine wilderness, approached from the south.
On the last day of the year, under the cover of a blizzard, the American forces launched their attack. The plan was to assault the city from multiple points on the plains of Abraham, hoping to exploit the disarray of the British garrison, who were few in number but fortified within the city's walls. Montgomery attacked from the west, Arnold from the north.
Montgomery's men quickly overran the first British defenses, but tragedy struck when Montgomery was killed by grapeshot. Leaderless, his troops faltered.
Meanwhile, Arnold's group managed to breach the city's gate but found themselves pinned down in the Lower Town with Arnold wounded.
Daniel Morgan, a Virginia rifleman, took temporary command under Arnold, but the situation deteriorated. The British, under Governor Guy Carleton, rallied, and their counterattack was swift and devastating. The Americans were caught in the open or trapped in narrow streets, facing disciplined British soldiers, Canadian militiamen, and even local civilians who joined the fray. The city's defenses, including the formidable walls, proved too much for the disorganized and now leaderless American assault.

The battle ended in disaster for the Americans and the British suffered minimal losses, and the city remained firmly in their control. This defeat not only ended the immediate threat to Quebec but also dashed American hopes of bringing Canada into the fold of the revolution.

Nathan Hale's immortal last words on September 22nd, 1776, while on the gallows before his execution
"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

When MLK was assassinated on April 4, 1968, RFK had to break the news to his campaign workers, many of whom were black.

This was 4 years after his brother's murder. RFK would be assassinated just 2 months later.

Political violence then was worse than now. Here's what he said:

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life.

A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation.

No more political violence.

[Ryan Saavedra @RyanSaavedra]

This is actually a good statement from Bernie Sanders

Worth the watch
