What is meant by ‘Red Coats’ organisation? |
|
Answer» The ‘Red Coats’ organisation was a patriotic organisation founded by the pioneering republican leader of Italy, Garibaldi. It was through the strength of this group’s soldiers that Garibaldi entered Sicily and defeated the army of Naples. When Garibaldi was sentenced to death on charges of sedition, he escaped from captivity and fled to South America. During this period, he also took part in American war of Independence. He founded the ‘Red Coats’ organisation there. Its members wore red shirts. This party played an important role in the unification of Italy. |
