Loyalists wore red during the American Revolutionary War to identify themselves as supporters of the British Crown and to distinguish themselves from Patriot forces. The color red was associated with British soldiers, who wore red coats, symbolizing their allegiance to Britain. Additionally, the uniformity of the color helped create a sense of unity among Loyalists. Wearing red also served as a way to intimidate opponents and assert their loyalty in a time of conflict.
