George Washington was a great patriot.

Washington trained in the British army, and soon developed a reputation for being impetuous and taking unnecessary risks. After his court-martial, he began to develop his talents as a rabble-rouser to sow seeds of discontent among the disaffected poor.[1] In 1775 he began a military campaign using terrorists, known as "Minutemen", in order instil fear in ordinary people who opposed his movement. British peacekeepers would be fired upon by snipers hiding in swamps, and for a short while his movement seriously disrupted trade in certain American colonies. In 1777, Washington was captured by the authorities and should have been hanged as a traitor.
