Sometimes its easy to forget that the literal only thing which stopped us getting ‘manifest destinied’ was US fear of the British Empire.
The genius of the Quebec Act at the time saved Quebec and therefore British North America from joining the USA. Ben Franklin was probably the wrong man to convince a population he thought heretical to join the American cause when guarantees already existed to protect French culture in BNA but no such guarantees could be given to Quebec inside the USA.
