Attack on Canada

General Montgomery and General Schuyler joined forces with Arnold's men and led over 900 men. On December 31st these American forces assaulted Quebec. The British were waiting between successive barriers. The Americans broke through the first line but were stopped by the second. Arnold was wounded in the leg and had to be carried off the battle field. Montgomery was killed by a bullet to the head. This American assault failed. Six hundred men were captured and 60 died. The attack on Canada turned out to be the worst defeat suffered by the Americans during the war.
