They were American Militia men
The story of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, which occurred on April 19, 1775, was when the redcoats made their first appearance. The redcoats were members of the British Army, and the uniform they were issued was given that title. King George III, had plenty of money to see that his military had the best, when it came to their uniforms. The minutemen were Americans who formed a troop, and their goal was to be ready to fight in a minutes notice, should the British cause trouble. On that day of April 19, 1775, the redcoats marched into the area. They seemed to be in a happy and carefree state of mind. The minutemen attacked. About 90 Americans were killed or wounded, and about 200 British troops were killed or wounded. The American Revolutionary War had officially begun.

Actual fighting in the American Revolution began on April 19, 1775, when American militia-men and British 'redcoats' clashed at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in what is present-day Massachusetts. Tensions and even some skirmishing had taken place prior; however, these battles formally initiated a war that would not end until eight years later.
The April 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord featured two main groups of combatants. On one side stood regular troops of Great Britain, popularly known as 'redcoats,' while on the other side stood American 'minutemen,' or militia troops, who had gathered from nearby towns and villages to do their best to square off against Britain's well-trained infantry.
