​ My answers to your questions...

1: What was the affect on canadian identity, as a result of the conflict?

I think that when the thirteen colonies split up from the rest of britain, most of the loyalists stayed with the other loyalists of new france and made the number of loyalists larger and more successful even though the patriots won. Now there are more french canadians, than there would be, if all the loyalists went with the patriots of the thirteen colonies, to america.

 2: What were the key battles, where were they fought, and what were the dates of the battle? Why were these battles significant to the outcome of the conflict ? =====

The battle of Trenton. It took place on dec. 26, 1776, when George Washington and approximately 2,500 soldiers crossed the Delaware River from Pennsylvania and attacked the British at Trenton, N.J. =====

Also, there was the battle of Monmouth, which was fought on June 28, 1778, close to the Monmouth Courthouse, N.J, when George Washington, and 13,000 men, including 2,000 Jersey militia fought10,000 British troops who were commanded by Sir Henry Clinton. The British evacuated Philadelphia on June 18th,1776. They set out for New York across new jersey, and camped at Valley Forge, along the way. while they qwere there, General Charles Lee and 4,500 men attacked the british, but were unorganized and retreated. I think that this affected the outcome of the war, because if the americans had won, there would be a lot more english-speaking Canadians, now. =====
