Who else revolted in the American Revolutionary War?

The Eddy Rebellion is rather shocking to me- I had thought that aside from the Thirteen Colonies and the Vermont Republic, no other colonists bolted during the ARW in North America. So, who else did? I always hear about the Quebecois being good complacent loyalists, but were there any would-be revolutionaries in Canada?

Because this Eddy Rebellion thing does lead me to wonder if New Brunswick, if not Nova Scotia with its massive garrison at Halifax, could have become the 14th Colony.

The Quebecois, by and large, didn't care; they didn't rise up and they didn't join the British militia.

The Eddy Rebellion was a bizarre one-off. Eastern (ie, modern) NS was in the grip of a religious revival at the time, which might have reduced the number of people joining the militia, but also meant that the general populace was unlikely to rise up.

Sorry :( New Brunswick didn't exist in the 1770's, It was split off Nova Scotia after the war ended.

Bermuda sent Guns, Powder, and Shot, to the 1775 Massachusetts Rebels.
The City of Halifax Voted for Independence in 1775, but the British troops in Fort Halifax prevented anything happening.
