One, but not a major one. Being tax dodgers was far more important...

According to Wikipedia's 'American Revolution' article:
"For Native Americans, the American Revolution was not a war of patriotism or independence. The great majority supported the British cause. Some tried to remain neutral, seeing little value in participating yet again in a European conflict. A few supported the American cause. The losers lost their lands, especially in New York state, and were driven into Canada."
Is the Native American positon one that needs to be taken into account?
