During the American Revolutionary War, the British labeled American colonists who supported independence or rebelled against British authority as traitors. This included leaders of the Continental Congress, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, as well as ordinary citizens participating in protests and uprisings. The term was used to justify military actions against those perceived as disloyal to the Crown. Ultimately, this accusation helped galvanize support for the revolutionary cause among colonists.
