True.

My knowlege of the era is unfortunatly shaped by my Ameri-centric viewpoint, education and upbringing. And didnt Britian have problems in India from day one all the way up till India was granted independence by Britain?


Anyway, back on topic, because this thread has morphed into something else that the OP probably did not intend.

Weren't English Redcoats also called Lobsterbacks in New England??
