Everyone might have a different definition for what terrorism is, since this is a question that the answer will depend on who is the observer; however, in my perspective I do not believe that “they were a bunch of terrorist.” Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, which is especially against civilians, for the pursuit of political aims. Terrorists attack civilians to create panic and fear, and to pressure the government to give into their demands. In this case the colonists just refused to submit to the authority if the king and parliament of Great Britain. For this reason, I do not see a reason on why or how they could have been a bunch of terrorists, in my perspective the American Revolutionary War was not an act
