From my point of view, if you're sneaking around, targeting civilians
- soft targets for effect, for the purpose of influencing public
opinion, influencing government policy or just for a symbolic protest
- you are a terrorist.
If there was any "justice" in your cause, your choice of means
nullified it.
That pretty much makes your own country born by terrorism.
I'd hardly call fighting redcoats attacking soft targets. There were
attrocities committed by both sides during the revolution, well
rebellion really since the upper class of the colonies pretty much
remained the upper class of the new United States, but atrocities are
often the results of war, even more so when it's a family fight. The
difference is were they policy or did a situation get out of hand.
