True "Hessians" came from the region of what is now Hessen, in Germany. Additionally, the British deployed many German troops from other regions of present-day Germany, including Brunswick, Anspach-Bayreuth, Anhalt Zerbst, and Waldeck. However, the largest contribution of auxiliary troops came from Hessen-Kassel, so that "Hessian" became a term for all German auxiliaries deployed by the British in the Revolutionary War. These troops were "hired" or "rented" through the rulers of their respective states, some of whom had family loyalties to Britain.
They were called Hessians, because many of them came from the Hesse-Kassel principality (of the Holy Roman Empire, in Germany), which "rented" conscripted soldiers to George III in order to finance opulent lifestyles for the "Landgrave" or ruler of the region, Frederic II (1720-1785).
They were on the British side; They were loyal to the King.
