Reign of Terror is easier, more simple, and less casualties.
Edit: I hope you realize that 1776 is impossible now. We aren't trying to fight off an army that is invading our soil. So is civil war. It's no longer north vs south. If we do a hot conflict against our own countrymen. Its going to look more like Syria than anything fought on American soil before. Reign of Terror, we go in take care of those on top and send a message to all their sympathizers that they'll receive the same if they try anything like this again. A more focused action against the true enemy instead of street battles against the corrupt and their forces.

NO! We fight! We don't let them take this country over!
That's why the Reign of Terror maybe necessary.
