It depended on the era. For example, during World War II, the British referred to traitors and collaborators as "quislings." During the Revolutionary War, the American colonists fighting for independence were in fact still British, but the government called the ones who remained loyal to the King "loyalists" and the ones who wanted independence "rebels," which was not a word with positive connotations.
