Were Founding Fathers Terrorists?

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.​

Since Colonial America, under the English Constitution, already had freedom, the violent Insurrectionaries were not "freedom fighters."

There is a difference between freedom and licence -- as the violence, looting and destruction of property of the Boston "Tea Party" clearly demonstrates.

Traitor John Hancock, colonial America's biggest smuggling mafioso, engineered that crime because the East India Company's lawful tea was cheaper than his smuggled Holland tea!!

Apparently, even you can be rendered speechless (or almost) by the truth!

No because they won.

you're just as big an idiot for agreeing in principle/

gawd, some of you people need to be slapped silly

First off sentences end with a period. And I didn't speak anything but the truth. The victors always write history. Always been that way. And you're right. The line to slap you would run coast to coast.

Just use logic. Works every time.

Yes, some of the patriots were terrorists. Both patriots and loyalist used terrorist tactics against one another in the South.

You know the Loyalist didn't flee this nation because they choose to.

They fled because TERRORIST PATRIOTS drove them out of America.

From THE CANADIAN ENCYCLOPEDIA :

The Loyalists supported Britain for highly diverse reasons. Many evinced a personal loyalty to the Crown or a fear that revolution could bring chaos to America....

And during the Terrorist Insurrection and afterwards, how well-founded that fear of chaos was !!

Others, seeing themselves as weak or threatened within American society and in need of an outside defender, included linguistic and religious minorities, recent immigrants not fully integrated into American society, blacks and Indians. Sympathy for the Crown was a dangerous sentiment: those who defied the revolutionary forces could find themselves without civil rights, subject to mob violence or flung into prison. All the states finally taxed or confiscated Loyalist property.

During the Revolution over 19 000 Loyalists served Britain in specially created provincial corps, accompanied by several thousand Indians. Others spent the war in such strongholds as New York City or in refugee camps such as those at Sorel and Machiche, Qué. Between 80 000 and 100 000 eventually fled, about half of them to Canada. The vast majority were neither well-to-do nor particularly high in social rank; most were farmers.
