Well no shirt, Sherlock, there wasn't any Geneva Conventions back then. Asking them to abide by that which wouldn't exist for another 50 years (in it's early form) is a high bar, indeed.

Show me where I made any of these accusations.
I can't find it now but I've read that the Brits considered the Yankees to be terrorists (don't recall if they used that actual word) because of the Yankee practice of guerilla warfare, including the practice of fighting out of uniform.
Oh golly, how could the Brits make such a charge long before the GC took place?
