Why were colonists angry that great britain had hired german mercenaries? colonists could not afford to pay german mercenaries to fight for the patriots. german mercenaries had secretly promised to support the patriot cause. german mercenaries had a reputation for being particularly brutal in battle. colonists did not agree with german mercenaries' position on slavery.

The correct answer is German mercenaries had a reputation for being particularly brutal in battle.

German mercenaries were hired soldiers by the British government. These troops were needed in North America with the goal of putting down the American colonists revolution. These troops were needed due to Britain's consistent military conflicts in Europe. Since the British government needed a significant amount of soldiers in Britain to fight the French, they had to hire outside help for the fighting during the American Revolution.
