The World Turned Upside Down - 2nd Canadian Continental Regiment

[carojon]

The 2nd Canadian Continental Regiment, Congress's Own, otherwise known as Hazen's Regiment was a rather unique unit in the American order of battle, formed as it was in the early days of the American War of Independence, soon after the failed attempt to take Quebec City in December 1775.



The regiment was originally formed and recruited from French Canadians in the Quebec Province by Moses Hazen and Edward Antill, using a French organisation of four battalions each of five companies with an aspiration of a final strength of 1,000 men. This number never rose much above half that despite Congress allowing Hazen to recruit throughout the American colonies, and coming under direct control of Congress, hence the title Congress's Own.
