As has been said, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
The whole thing was so aptly summed up in the exchange between Andrew Jackson and John C. Calhoun back I think in the 1830s, and I think this one actually happened. Jackson, at a dinner, but directly addressing himself to Calhoun: Our federal union. It must be preserved. Calhoun: The union, next to our liberty, the most dear. And now we are removing Calhoun's name from dorms. I had a teacher way back in the day who was young then but became a well=known Civil War scholar. His theory was that it was what he called a preemptive counterrevolution by the South.
