Red coat, also referred to as redcoat or scarlet tunic,
is a military garment formerly much used by British infantry
servicemen, so customarily that the term became a common synecdoche for
the servicemen themselves.
The experience of British soldiers in the eighteenth century would have depended on where he was stationed, the time period and who he was fighting. The British Army
underwent significant changes during the eighteenth century, mainly to
ensure they would be able to perform well in the numerous wars that Great Britain participated in during the century, such as the War of the Spanish Succession, the War of the Austrian Succession, the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolutionary Wars.
The British Army during the American Revolutionary War served for eight years in campaigns fought around the globe. Defeat at the Siege of Yorktown to a combined Franco-American force ultimately led to the loss of the Thirteen Colonies in eastern North America, and the concluding Treaty of Paris deprived Britain of many of the gains achieved in the Seven Years' War. However, several victories elsewhere meant that much of the remaining British Empire remained intact. In 1775 the British Army was a volunteer force. The army had
suffered from lack of peacetime spending and ineffective recruitment in
the decade since the Seven Years' War, circumstances which had left it
in a dilapidated state at the outbreak of war in North America.To offset this the British government quickly hired contingents of German auxiliaries alongside the regular army units in campaigns from 1776. Limited army impressment
was also introduced in England and Scotland to bolster recruitment in
1778, however the practice proved too unpopular and was proscribed again
in 1780.
The attrition of constant fighting, the inability of the Royal Navy to decisively defeat the French Navy, and the withdrawal of the majority of British forces from North America in 1778 ultimately led to the British army's defeat. The surrender of Cornwallis's army at Yorktown in 1781 allowed the Whig opposition to gain a majority in parliament, and offensive British operations in North America were brought to an end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
