American revolutionaries: terrorists? Options

[strice]

during the revolutionary war, americans were labelled as terrorists under the British Terrorism Laws, which stated that any violent insubordination qualified as terrorism. I would argue that they were indeed terrorists of a sort, one example being the boston tea party. They are fighting for their freedom from an imperialistic overseas power and that is exactly what the terrorists of the middle east are doing, except with far less pleasant techniques. What do you bastards say?


i feel like this is going to garner a healthy amount of flames.

you, CrackedRearView, are biased because you are american ( i presume) or like americans and not middle eastern.

the americans were terrorists. the army would snipe at the british. on british victory marches from battles, the farmers from the countryside would shoot them from a hidden place.


the americans used deceit, treachery, and unethical tactics to win the war.

they paid pirates to raid british ships, in order to scare the british from trading with anyone in the americas.

the americans did not win on the battle field. the won in the minds of parliament. paliament was afraid of the cost, so they quit.

we were terrorists.
