<No freedom fighter intentionally murders a mass of innocent civilians and then runs and hides from direct military confrontation. They are cowards. And people who recognize them as anything but terrorist cowards are not qualified to opine about morality.> Question: Using the above definition, was George Washington a "terrorist coward", or a "freedom fighter"? Before you answer this question, if you don't want to be quickly proven very wrong, perhaps you should review a bit of history. Go look up what happened to the Senecas in upper New York, during the Revolutionary War. Analyse the tactics, and the results. After that exercise, answer the same question about General (later President) Jackson. Search phrases: "trail of tears" and "War of 1812".
