The term 'YANKS' Adversaries' refers to two groups of people who were enemies of the United States during different periods in history. The first group is the 'Rebs', which is an abbreviation for Confederate Rebels, a group of people who fought against the Union forces during the American Civil War. The second group is the 'Redcoats', which is a nickname for the British soldiers who fought against the American colonists during the American Revolutionary War. Both groups were adversaries of the United States and were ultimately defeated by the YANKS.
