If the French General Montcalm agreed to surrender, he allowed the English forces to take possession of the city while ensuring that the French troops and civilians could leave safely without facing retaliation. This agreement aimed to minimize loss of life and maintain some level of dignity for the French defenders. Ultimately, this arrangement was part of the terms of the surrender of Quebec in 1759 during the Seven Years' War.
