However, it is possible that after the battle that the Iroquois did scalp the corpses as a gesture of disrespect to the British.

American privateers devastated the maritime economy by raiding many of the coastal communities, such as the numerous raids on Liverpool and on Annapolis Royal.

These revolts are said to have failed because of them being regional segmental revolts. The revolution of November 1954 was, in contrast, a national revolution.
