User blog:M4$t3r4$$4$$!n/Homestead missions question

Okay so I finished AC3 a while back, and I kinda regret finishing it cuz now I'm stuck with unhooded Connor and killing Continentals. So when I get the chance, I'ma start a new story and not finish it. Now, my question is: Are Homestead missions unlocked as you progress in the story? Cuz if so, I'll just do the story up until Sequence 11, where Connor cuts his hair. Thanks.
