Continental Army's Siege of Fort St. Jean Begins

September 17th, 1775 249 years ago

The Continental Army commenced the Siege of Fort St. Jean as part of the invasion of Quebec. This strategic military action aimed to secure control over the fort, located in present-day Canada, to augment the revolutionary efforts against British rule. Under the command of General Benedict Arnold, the siege reflected the growing aspirations of the American colonies to expand their territorial influence. The objective was to engage British forces stationed there and rally support for the patriot cause.
