this was a very big deal to the yankees, mostly the ruling class but also poorer folks looking for cheap/free land. the other outrageous part of the quebec act was it pre-empted the expropriation of quebecois land, something else the 13 colonies had expected after fighting the 7 years war. and while yankees temporarily lost access to (part) of atlantic trade during the war, the end result was that british interests were squeezed out of US ports--good deal for new england. settler-colonialism produces outrageously, irrationally entitled ideology. look at israel if you want a sense of how yankee colonials could feel slighted and keep pushing no matter how much free land and resources they heaped together
