Boston, Massachusetts
After the news reached Samuel Adams he was up in arms he now thought Parliment was attempting to starve out Boston in response he organized the Sons of Liberty and organized boycotts of the port act with newspapers stirring up and exaggerating the laws to rally people against the law it was working too, with many growing to support the boycott movement. however as many colonies sent aid shipments the aid fluttered as The British soon received news of the colonies fierce resistance in response a fierce movement led by Edmund Burke rose to prominence as the Whig politician organized the Whigs against Lord North's failing In response to the colonies he and his allies despite the resistance of Lord North's government pushed for the to be held in !775 giving them time. Lord Fredrick North and his government quickly looked for a way to alleviate the crisis and to this it looked t flare up colonial tensions to disrupt supply first it backed New Hampshire against Massachusetts . on its northern Boundary getting the law through as a way to punish them for thee tea party without being too severe, worked with colonies and gave minor concessions to cutt off supplies, and approved the movement of troops to the land boundaries of Massachusetts to intercept supplies this was seen by many as extreme and rialed up anger in the colonies giving the Whigs and colonials greater support. However despite this being controversial Massachusetts began to starve with forced them to negotiate after weeks Massachusetts payed the fine however resentment built up and the colonies created the First Continetal Congress in order to form a inited front to prevent a second starvation. Inside Britain this was deeply unpopular in Britain as many began to voice public disapproval of Lord North's actions especially in the press.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
September 5,1774
The Delegates met from the twelve colonies with them deciding to form minutemen companies and begin a program of relief and smuggling creating routes across the Proclamation line of 1763 to supply colonies to force the British to blockade all of the colonies (which would be extremely unpopular),created a command of the minutemen and began offcial boycotts of all British goods and the sending of evoys to talk about the food crisis in Massachusets. it was asserted that they were still loyal subjects of King George.

Bristol,Great Britain
October 1774
With the Controversial events in Massachusetts Edmund Burke's movement conceded to allowing the election to be held in the fall 1774 allowing the Ministerialist Torries to be hit with the full anger of them starving subjects of the King, Edmund Burke managed to secure candidacy to become Prime Minister he did constant campaigning in Bristol,London and across Britain with focus especially in Ireland on focusing opinion away from the Torries among the Anglo-Irish. Luckily for him Lord Fredrick North was defeated 397-161. Edmund Burke now saw him as Prime Minister as Massachusetts had already payed the port act was repealed and despite many in his own government advising against it he met the with continetal Congress with the Proclimation renegotiated to the Missippisi River,some of the taxes were lowered however the boycott ended and the main tea supplier had to be the East India Company and creation of decently sized American and regional Parliments.
oringially this was shot down pretty closely however following the Americans and Burke's supporters spreading propaganda about starving Massachusetts led to Parliment conceding after the American Parliment was Weakened and the Individual Parliments strengthend (divide and rule) and assertion in special cases Parliment could overule the Americans.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia
April 7,1775
The American Parliment first met with representives across the Thirteen Colonies,Nova Scotia, Quebec,and West Flordia met in the city of Philadelphia with the British government promising the Thirteen Colonies a Realignment of Quebec's border this angered Quebecs representives with they deliberated on an used their agreements with Britain to consider the other colonies deals void in response it kept escalating as the case British North America V.S. Province of Quebec reached the British Supreme Court in which it decided 10-2 in favor of British North America and also declared the Province of Quebec could not Overule the colonies and the American and British Parliments planting the seeds for anger within the province.
Next Quebec was further angered as the B.N.A. Parliment Repealed Quebec's laws against anglo and protestant migration however a lucky break for Quebec following the courts ruling that the American Parliment could not remove the protected status of catholics however they no longer enjoyed complete control as a mini version of the Protestant Ascendacy occured as Anglos moved into the region and founded York (Toronto) and spilt off Upper Canada from Quebec evicting many Catholics.
Montreal,Quebec
December,1775
A previously unknown man Gabriel Gagon began writing a paper which proved Populaur and began to form a Movement called Liberté et Renouveau it became insanely popular and began Gaining influence and launched boycotts similar to the Americans to Emalute their sucsess however their proposals fell on deaf ears as the British had little Regard for Catholics. Liberté et Renouveau began arming itself and on 1/1/1776 LR (Liberté et Renouveau) forces began to drive out British forces with the surprise factor with them seizing Montreal much of the St Laurence gulf it also drove out Anglos and Protestants with the burning of York. Minutemen oringially hired to fight Britain fought LR however despite this LR had some luck an advancing Towards Albany, New York
Albany,New York
March 8,1776
as Liberté et Renouveau forces approached the city they attempted it to cut off its supplies however this completely failed as the 7th Dragoon regiment stopped and prevented the advance of their infantrymen, soon after Minutemen engaged them in the center with 62nd regiment from Britain destroying and causing the LR forces to break ranks and with the 7th and 8th Dragoon regiments crushed the LR Infantryment from both flanks.
Following the battle the Liberté et Renouveau were forced to retreat across the St Laurence gulf,with the city of Montreal in range.

As The British advanced fierce artillery destroyed the city Minutemen and Horses Broke down and looted the City by now most of the LR leadership had fled except Gabriel Gagon he wanted to die as a a martyr and die he did. In Quebec anti British sentiment rose in Quebec it's charter was revoked and all its protection despite this violence against Anglos continued as it was swept under the bus as settlers were funneled to Upper Canada and the West.
