In today’s America, George Washington would’ve been considered a terrorist. My how much we’ve CHANGED.

No he was considered a terrorist and traitor back then too.

Just not by the Victors.

I remember in College one of my Stupid History teachers had a Parthian shot one day as we were leaving class that "Remember the Founders were a bunch of Slave owning white men, who didn't want to pay their taxes"

I reminded her the next day that those taxes helped to support the British Military in the Conquest of Places like India and Africa (Because our taxes go towards conquering Iraq and the time you see)

She didn't bring that point up again.

Bull!! Washington attacked Englands ability to exercise military force in America. He did not seek to scare England into withdrawal via killing civilians.
