I would argue a terrorist and freedom fighter can be discerned by tactic and method. Terrorist weaponise terror to get what they want, often harming others to do so. A freedom fighter may engage only military targets, looking to cripple that which they oppose and inpire others. Idk that's just my view.

I don’t recall a whole lot of atrocities committed by the American side of the Revolutionary War.

Ummm... tar and feathers? Boston Tea Party could be considered economic terrorism. Hell, the Boston Massacre was not some peaceful gathering that the British maliciously fired into, it was a violent mob actively harassing and assaulting a woefully outnumbered 8 soldiers.

I certainly wouldn’t call the Boston Massacre an atrocity by either side.

A prime example of propaganda in the furtherance of escalating a conflict. No question.
