- The goal was to deprive the loyalists of an important base from which they could invade upper New York. General Richard Montgomery commanded the army.
- Arnold suggested that the Second Army attack by traveling upstream on the River in Maine and downstream the Chaudier River all the way to Quebec. Arnold believed that if the Americans conquered Montreal and Quebec, most French colonialists would join the Americans in fighting the British.
