Revolts in garrisoned cities

Having played BoA for quite a while now, I was under the impression that garrisoning a city (in the ARW) was a guarantee against an uprising. However, last turn, for the first time I believe, I have seen a revolt in two cities that were garrisoned with regulars which were simply thrown out in the course of events. Am I seeing things? Or was I imagining things before, in thinking that a garrison would prevent an uprising?
Thanks!

When and where ? A save would be interesting.. We have to see if the 'Minutemen' rule works efficiently or not, or if this is event-related maybe

February 1778, in Peekskill and in Providence. I will post a file (.trn?) when I get home.

I believe these are all the files you asked for. Thanks for any insights you can provide.

I confirm that Minutemen are appearing in regions that have British presence.
The regions still had loyalty in favor of the AME side [all cases greater than 94% in fact], so this may be OK?

But then just what is the point of garrisoning a city, other than ensuring against revolt?

Good point.
There is a request in for further information, but since BoA is 'legacy', it may be a while to get an answer.....

Any idea how long a while might be?

The obvious reason is to increase loyalty so that you'll be immune from revolts in the future.
Perhaps more importantly is stopping/reducing the American levies. If you don't garrison every strategic city in a region the Americans can still levy troops in that region.
I think revolts in cities with very low loyalty are fine.

During the course of my games I have seen this as well, as one unit of American Militiamen sometimes toss over a thousand British regulars out on their rears. I noticed that it only occurs, however, when I set the British to 'Passive'.

Excellent point. Yes, my units probably were on passive, as they were to recover losses. And yes, it makes some sense that a "passive" unit would yield the city to the rebels rather than fight them ...
