It should also be noted.... that the actual leaders of the revolution did not condone tarring and feathering.

Though once again... it was a very mild situation.

Did they also tie together British Soldiers shoe laces and put shaving cream on their hands while tickling their faces with feathers?

Actually there are a number of ways to drive a person insane without actually doing anything physical to them. That still counts as terrorism. Also keep in mind that killing dozens of people back then with a small handful of people back then was infinitely harder than it is today. They had to make do with what they could do. I'm willing to bet anything that if they had the means, the colonialists would have had their own ETA.

Tarring and feathering =/= terrorism.

Corporal punishment of that kind was actually fairly common... everywhere.  It was rather benign and didn't hurt anyone.

They could of you know... actually killed people if they wanted to actually instill terrorism in people.
