1776: Continental Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence. American troops make a surprise attack across Lake Ontario and capture Toronto just before the spring thaw begins.

That’s quite a feat, considering that there was no Toronto in 1776.   Fort Rouillé on the present site of Toronto had been abandoned in 1759, and while it is plausible that retreating British and Loyalist forces could have chosen to regroup there.  Its capture would have been seen as too unimportant to waste someone with Arnold’s talents in its accomplishments.

1776: American sympathizers in New Brunswick rise up and make it hell for the British troops.

1777: New Brunswick raises a militia and heads into Nova Scotia.
Oh, you deluded Rebel fool.  There was no New Brunswick during the American revolt, and those who lived there had no desire to be Rebels.  (They also mostly had no desire to fight for the crown, but the idea of Rebel partisans harrying British troops in Nova Scotia is ludicrous.)

1780: An American flotilla built for the American navy by France destroys the British fleet in the Chesapeake Bay.
I’d continue on with my criticism, but with this entry, it is quite apparent that you aren’t engaged in a serious alternate history here but more a fantasy unhampered by the constraints of reality or logic.  Such fantasy can be entertaining, but it doesn’t deserve close scrutiny.
