Give me one example of when a political activist was locked up here for peaceful activism.

So the
Sons of Liberty et al were terrorists and should have been executed?
Maybe the world would be a better place if that revolution by "terrorists" had been successfully suppressed. We would have given you independence eventually, probably in the middle of last century with all the other troublesome colonies. Shame those terrorists had to get involved or my ancestors could've had another 200 years or so of milking America's resources.
If you executed someone whom you saw as a terrorist, yet others saw as a freedom fighter, that wouldn't make you a freedom fighter, rather an instrument of the very state that is being fought against.
