    The Quebec Act made the region of Quebec a special territory where they were allowed to hold Catholic officials, and practice French laws, however, the English still held the land and executed the criminal law. Many colonists saw this act as a force to hold them back, and restrict their rights. This act led to a divide, leading to a battle in Quebec in the Winter of 1774-1775. This act was a major cause of the Revolutionary War.
