Redcoat

"Redcoat" refers to the British soldiers who wore distinctive bright red uniforms during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The term is most associated with their participation in conflicts such as the American Revolutionary War. The bright red color was chosen to create a strong visual impact, foster patriotism, and make soldiers easily identifiable on the battlefield. While effective for unity and morale, the uniforms also made them more visible to enemies. Today, "Redcoat" is often used to denote British soldiers of that era, symbolizing their historical role in colonial conflicts and the British Empire's military history.
