Wolfe's Manifesto
The British advances in 1758 into the colony of New France instilled fear into the Canadiens' hearts. The inhabitants of the French colony were "terror-stricken". Taking advantage of the situation, British General James Wolfe adopted a strategy of psychological intimidation. Wolfe's Manifesto was issued on 28 June 1759.
