Both sides of the Revolutionary War liked to give their opponents nicknames. What was NOT one of the names given the colonists who rebelled against the Crown?
Answer Tories
Although they were likely known as rebels without a cause in Britain, the colonists believed they had just cause. Still, the British called them by various names, including rebels, revolutionaries, Yankees, Whigs, colonials, continentals, and patriots...although, the colonists probably appreciated that last one.
