FEMA calls our Founding Fathers, those who rebelled against the tyranny of England, terrorists.

When George Washington fought a guerilla war against the Red Coats didn’t King George III call the colonists who fought from behind trees terrorists or something similar?

When the District of Criminals acted like a group of tyrants toward the South should it surprise me that the Southerners would rebel? Should those who rebelled be called terrorists for doing so?

George Washington fought a guerilla war? Washington commanded a regular army in the type of formal battles that were fought in those days. He deplored militias and irregular troops. Certainly some guerillas, notably Francis Marion, played a significant role in the revolution, but Washington wasn’t one of them.
