In what ways are the clothing and equipment of Colonial and British soldiers different?

Minute men and militia were citizen soldiers and did not have uniforms. When they showed up for duty,

they wore their own clothes, over which they carried their weapons and equipment. When they were called

out to serve, they had to have enough ammunition, food, water, and other items of comfort (blanket, extra

clothing etc.) for at least one day’s service

British soldiers, on the other hand, always wore uniforms. This allowed them to tell friend from foe - - but

why RED? Well, for one thing, it looked good and added to the frightening appearance of the army in battle.

ALSO, Battlefields in the 1700’s were smoky, confusing places. Red uniforms made it easier for British officers to see their men through the smoke of battle. As a result, they were better able to control the action, and

could avoid shooting their own troop

in 1803 the louisiana purchase took place, doubling the size of the country. by 1840 almost 7 million americans had migrated westward in hopes of securing land and being prosperous. the belief that settlers were destined to expand to the west is often referred to as manifest destiny.
