Arnold's Expedition

Arnold's Expedition, led by Benedict Arnold in 1775 during the American Revolutionary War, was a secret mission aimed at capturing the strategic British-held city of Quebec. The goal was to rally Canadian support for the revolution. The expedition involved a difficult march through icy wilderness, facing harsh weather and limited supplies. Ultimately, the attack on Quebec failed, and Arnold was wounded. Despite the failure, the effort showed daring leadership and highlighted the importance of Quebec in the broader struggle for independence.
