Washington didn't really use guerrilla tactics - he led the Continental Army and fought main force actions. Further, he damned sure didn't "introduce" guerrilla tactics to North America.
I said the he introduced "gorilla" (shoot me) warfare. I thought maybe you could infer the theater. Here's a short read: LINK
If you're not a reader, here's a quote: "Superior knowledge of home ground coupled with effective
guerrilla warfare tactics, such as attacking from the
rear and adopting enemy uniforms as a disguise."
Terrorist might have been a strong word to use as a description of how the British categorized Washington. But in "civilized warfare", Washington's tactics were certainly considered guerrilla.
The original thesis stands. Washington was a hero to most Americans, certainly a villain, if not a terrorist, to the Crown.

He's pointing out that you're a useless tard for not realizing that native Americans had been using guerilla tactics in North America long before Washington's great great grandpa's great grandpa was even born dumbass.
Ha ha. You're too dumb to even realize when and how you're being insulted.

Sorry, it fails. The Crown subsequently referred to Washington as "the greatest man in the world." The Crown's officers dubbed him a worthy opponent. Not exactly the mark of one deemed a villain.
As for your source: it's a generalized "fact sheet," and your pull quote is listed as an "American Advantage," it is not personalized to Washington himself, who, again, led the Continental Army. It was guys like Ethan Allen, Thomas Sumter, and Francis Marion who did the guerrilla fighting. And again, they didn't introduce it - that was the way war had been conducted in North America for quite a while.
