Plains of Abraham
What was the biggest loss for a British Army on American soil before the American Revolution?
a. wolfe's loss on the cliff of Quebec b. Washington's defeat at Fort Necessity c. Amherst's fall at Louisburg d. Braddock's ambush near fort Duquesne ========================================================= Last time I checked, General Wolfe actually won the Battle of the Plains of Abraham at Quebec (although he died in the process). Furthermore, the Plains of Abraham were - and still are - in Quebec City, which is in the Province of Quebec, which is in Canada. As such, it is not 'on American soil.' Louisbourg (not Louisburg) was actually captured twice by the British from the French. Neither was a loss for the British, and there was not a third time. And furthermore, as above, Louisbourg was - and still is - on Cape Breton Island, which is part of the Province of Nova Scotia, which is in Canada. As such, it too is not 'on American soil.' I heartily recommend spending a day exploring the restored Fortress of Louisbourg. It's less than an hour south of Sydney, Nova Scotia.
