That doesn't change the fact that you can't compare modern day terrorists (again...as we use the word) to the Colonial fighters in any sort of rational way.

it is a bit like comparing apples to pears...

given the differences in time and culture they simply labeled our forefathers as Heretics, Traitors and Pirates. Society hadn't really coined the term "terrorist" yet.
We broke from the church of England, we dared raise arms against the King and we were setting fire and pillaging his majesties cities in the "homeland."

Just saying, there are some parallels.
