The founding fathers would have been called terrorists today by the British. Past the Boston Tea Party, the Green Mountain Boys is a pretty good example. "The Green Mountain Boys stopped sheriffs from enforcing New York laws and terrorized settlers who had New York grants, burning buildings, stealing cattle, and administering occasional floggings with birch rods." - https://www.britannica.com/topic/Green-Mountain-Boys
