Redcoats

Redcoats were British soldiers during the 18th and early 19th centuries, easily recognizable by their distinctive red uniforms. They served as the primary fighting force of the British Army and were notable for their involvement in key conflicts like the American Revolutionary War. The bright red coats were both a symbol of British military tradition and a practical garment, making soldiers visible on the battlefield, which sometimes made them an easy target. Redcoats played a significant role in shaping colonial history and are often remembered as symbols of British imperial power during that era.
