A government raises taxes due to a long and costly war, which it won. The citizens who benefitted from the war are unhappy about the new taxes and stage several protests, many of which are violent and vandalize property. The government then sends troops to guard ships in ports since imported goods have become a very contentious topic. Masked men sneak onto a ship and destroy $750,000 worth of goods in protest. In this case, which is a description of the Boston Tea Party, the masked men are not considered terrorists; they are several of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Which BEST explains why their violence and destruction were considered heroic? The British did not have a word for terrorism in this era.

It was not viewed as heroic at the time, but history changes perspectives.

It served the larger cause of American independence, which is a positive.

Since the United States did not exist, there could be no terrorism against it.

The  holy roman empire  was a feudal monarchy that encompassed present-day  germany, the  netherlands,  belgium, luxembourg,  switzerland,  austria, the czech and slovak republics, as well as parts of eastern  france, northern italy,  slovenia, and western  poland  at the start of the early modern centuries. it was created by the coronation of the frankish king  charlemagne  as roman emperor by pope leo iii on christmas day in the year 800, thus restoring in their eyes the western  roman empire  that had been leaderless since 476. charlemagne's frankish successor emperors faltered under political and military challenges, and his inheritance was permanently divided in 887. after 924 the western empire was again without an emperor until the coronation of otto i, duke of saxony, on 2 february 962. this coronation was seen to transfer the roman imperial office to the heirs of the east franks, the germans. the position of emperor remained among the germans until the holy roman empire was abolished in the aftermath of the napoleonic wars in 1806.
