Most people believe they were called "Redcoats," but that term did not appear until the 1880's.
Actual Names include:
- The Regulars (Paul Revere would have said "The Regulars are Coming!" not "The British are coming!")
- The King's Men
Cruel Nicknames include:
- Bloody-backs (because of the colors of their coat and also the traditional British military practice of flogging)
- Lobsters/Lobster-backs (this was used particularly in Boston)
