• In 1759, British General Wolfe executed a daring plan<br />
of attack on Quebec:<br />
– Earlier in the year he had tried to lure the <strong>French</strong><br />
General Montcalm onto the field of battle by<br />
launching raids up and down the coast, but this<br />
strategy failed.<br />
– The time was late fall and he had to attack quickly<br />
to avoid being frozen in the St. Lawrence.<br />
– In desperation, he ordered his men to climb a<br />
steep cliffside, under cover of darkness, onto the<br />
Plains of Abraham, in front of Quebec City.<br />
– Though Montcalm could have withstood a siege<br />
long enough to allow winter to claim the British, he<br />
instead gave battle.<br />
