I don't call it terrorism nor do I call it ethnic cleansing. Nor does any responsible historian, because it was neither. Not terrorism because the goal wasn't terror. The male Indians were fair targets, and had already initiated attack against the American rebels, having been bribed by the Brits, and warned by the Americans. Destroying their food and shelter forced the Brits to take them in. If you read up on the history of the Wyoming Massacre and the Cherry Valley Massacre, you know it was turnabout for what the Indians had done to the Americans.

When you actually study the history of things, you may not like what you learn but please don't lie about it.

The Americans admired the Iroquois and used their constitution as one of the sources of the US constitution.
