Because they lost.

∙ 10y agoThe Hessians were auxilliary troops from Hess, a state in what is now Germany (The term "Hessian" is now used to refer to all German troops deployed by the Crown in the American Revolution, although not all of them were necessarily from Hess). They were most notably "rented" out by their rulers to the British during the American revolution. The portion of the colonial population that was in rebellion objected to the presence of these troops, who they saw as foreign and scary (Hesssians had moustaches and long hair, adding to the effect). They also believed that the Hessians were mercenaries hired to fight against them, further fueling their fear and hatred. As a result, they began a ruthless Propaganda campaign against the Hessians, going so far as to make claims that they were violent savages who would eat children (remember that in the 18th century, information was not as readily available as today, and many people actually believed these claims!). The results of this propaganda campaign can still be seen today in modern American culture; Hessians are still often remembered as ruthless mercenaries.
