Well, they weren't called insurgents, if that's what you're getting at. They were most often called Rebels by the British. The Americans called themselves patriots or just Americans.

There are a minimum of two diverse solutions, from 2 diverse factors of view. The British called the individuals "Yankees" or a "Yankee Doodle" a hassle-free call used with tips from the individuals themselves replaced into "Minutemen" in view that they had each and every thing waiting so as that once the word got here, they could go away their properties and farms in a minute. It replaced into the Minutement that first fought the British at Lexington and brotherly love.
