Sir Frederick Haldimand KB (August 11 1718 – June 5 1791) was a military officer best known for his service in the British Army in North America during the Seven Years’ War and the American Revolutionary War. From 1778 to 1786 he served as Governor of the Province of Quebec during which time he oversaw military operations against the northern frontiers in the war and engaged in ultimately fruitless negotiations to establish the independent Vermont Republic as a new British province.
