Terrorism in the revolutionary war... if you count "using cover" and feinting maneuvers as terrorism.

Nobody in the revolutionary war was suicide bombing anyone or attacking civilians or anything.

 

Of course calling that terroism is ignoring the fact that using cover and feinting manuevers and attacking and retreating was how Warfare was fought on the North American contienent... vs the Indians and such.

Yes... because they so had the ability to suicide bomb at all. I tell you, they had really advanced explosives back then. I hear that Black Gunpowder was very easy to conceal in the quanities that were required for any significant damage other than maybe 3rd degree burns.

Also you are forgetting things that happened before the war even started. To take the Tea Party as an example, Alexander Hamilton basically said that that was the only remaining option they had to defend their constitutional rights. He also called it a principled protest.

Funny, I have the feeling those "terrorists" also feel like they only have one choice and view what they do as principled....

How many people were killed during the Boston Tea Party again?

What year was it again?

1773.

The point is.  It was zero.

Zero people were killed during the Boston Tea Party.  Are you argueing killing hadn't been invented yet?

No, but suicide bombing probably wasn't as popular as well back then. Keep in mind terrorism evolved over the years just as anything else. You can't shock people using the same thing over and over. I don't know if you have a grasp on terrorism well enough because terrrism isn't about killing people, it's about psychologically abusing people. Just so happens that by killing people nowadays it psychologically affects a population, maybe in another 100 years it will be by destroying unmanned space stations.

Also there are other examples of terrorism:
