I thought we paid for TX, NM, AZ and CA all at the same time. I'll ask comb. I'm not sure that we didn't so I won't just say we didn't but I don't think we did. Yes, they did. In fact, some of the colonists had the Indians go in and scalp people so that the Brits would be scared and go back home. All the whites in the area looked for allies among the Indians when they fought wars there. In the French and Indian wars this happened to. It wasn't that the colonists told the Indians "go scalp the Brits", its that the colonists looked for Indians who didn't like the government, and those Indians expressed their disline by scalping some of the Brits. Also what the Indians did fits more with the idea of sacking a pillaging then terrorism. The distinction might be a fine one, but even if you call the Indians terrorists (and I would not) that doesn't make the colonists terrorists. Actually I suspect a few of the colonists did do things that would qualify as terrorists acts, but none of them where as bad as the PLO, Hammas, or Al-Qaida, and the acts where not the offical policy pushed by Washington, or by the Continental Congress. They where isolated acts not a planned campaign of terror. Tim
