The "blue coats" generally refer to the Continental Army soldiers during the American Revolutionary War, who often wore blue uniforms, symbolizing their fight for independence from British rule. The "red coats" were British soldiers, known for their distinctive red uniforms, representing the British Crown. The conflict between these two groups was central to the war, with the blue coats striving for liberty and self-governance, while the red coats aimed to maintain control over the colonies.

What is the difference between the British red coats and American blue coats?
The British red coats, worn by soldiers of the British Army during the 18th century, symbolized the British Empire and were typically made of wool with a bright red dye, making them easily recognizable on the battlefield. In contrast, American blue coats, primarily worn by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, represented the fight for independence and were made of various shades of blue, often signifying loyalty to the new nation. The color distinction also served practical purposes, as the blue uniforms helped American soldiers blend into certain environments, while the red coats were more conspicuous. Ultimately, these uniforms became iconic representations of their respective sides in the conflict.
