He feels that he is fighting for his country but he wants to make his father proud too but he's a loyalist so he can't go back for his family or else he gets hanged. He gets homesick too for Betsy and Tim. He is scared but grown up. Isn't everyone scared to fight? You would be I would be everyone would.!!
no
Because of their red coats
Lobsterbacks.
Nope. These were two names for the British army. One was to refer to them (redcoats), the other was sort of a taunting nickname (lobsterbacks).
The irony in Sam calling the British soldiers "lobsterbacks" lies in the fact that while he intended to insult them by referencing their red uniforms, he inadvertently highlighted the very trait that made them easily recognizable on the battlefield. This nickname, derived from the color of their coats, also reflects the colonial perception of British forces as both formidable and somewhat ridiculous. Sam's use of the term underscores the tension between the colonists and British troops, emphasizing the absurdity of their conflict. Ultimately, the term serves as a reminder of the deeper social and political divisions of the time.
He was fighting in the War of 1812
Sam left college to join the war of the American Revolution.
