The people of Boston (Aka the Patriots) had some pretty mean names for the British soldiers. They were called Redcoats due to their red uniforms, and Lobseterbacks because back then everyone hated lobsters and the uniforms were red. They also called them Regulars, Kings men, and other names still around today.

Redcoats was another name for British soldiers because of their red uniforms.
This was the Boston Massacre. It happened on March 5, 1770, in Boston, Massachusetts. British soldiers killed 5 civilians, and injured 6 others. British troops had been stationed in Boston to enforce unpopular Parliamentary legislation. A mob formed around some British soldiers, and in response, they fired into the crowd, instantly killing 3 people and wounding others. 2 more people died later of wounds sustained in the incident.
