I don't think what was done to the Indians was courageous. As far as I know, I have never heard of substantiated accounts of American Revolutionaries specifically targeting civilians. Alexander Hamilton and John Adams never owned slaves and were members of Abolition movements most of their adult lives. I am not sure, but I believe Benjamin Franklin falls into this catagory also.
