What if they just roamed the south and burned down British loyalists' (Tories) homes and inflicted violence on their families?
What if state sponsored pirates marauded civilian merchant vessels and disrupted the British shipping routes?
Would either of those scenarios fit your notions of what constitutes terrorism or "the use of violence against non-combat personnel/non-military personnel to achieve a political end"?
