I have always found it curious that while the Continental Congress refused to approve a navy(believing that a navy would be a sovereignty),while at the same time authorizing an invasion of Canada(granted many thought the Canadiens would be more than happy to join the rebellion). Nevertheless debate over the invasion was intense, and only settled when Washington gave his approval to Benedict Arnold's ill-fated expedition through the Maine wilderness.

WI instead of Arnold hearing of a back country route to Quebec he meets a man named Jonathan Eddy. Famous(or infamous depending how far north you live)for the Eddy's Rebellion.

In OTL the rebellion, despite initial successes, ultimately failed largely because of lack of men and supplies and previously arrived British forces.
