  Redlegs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Redlegs was a term used to refer to the class of poor whites that lived on colonial Barbados, St. Vincent, Grenada and a few other Caribbean islands.
Because of the deplorable conditions under which the Redlegs lived, a campaign was initiated in the mid-19th century to relocate portions of the population to other islands which would be more economically hospitable.
The relocation process succeeded, and a distinct community of Redleg descendants live in the Dorsetshire Hill district on Saint Vincent as well as on the islands of Grenada and Bequia.

 Redlegs - Wikipedia
Redlegs (cioè "gambe rosse" in inglese) è un termine con cui si designavano i bianchi poveri che vivevano sulle isole caraibiche di Barbados, Saint Vincent e Grenada.
I redlegs, il cui nome deriva dagli effetti che aveva il sole tropicale sulla loro pelle chiara, erano di fatto considerati degli "schiavi bianchi".
Nell'isola di Barbados, dove si trovava la comunità più grande, i redlegs vivevano in estrema povertà: sull'isola, infatti, non vi era domanda di manodopera bianca poiché gli schiavi africani venivano impiegati in qualsiasi tipo di attività o, comunque, erano i redlegs stessi a rifiutarsi di lavorare nelle piantagioni insieme agli schiavi affrancati.

McGuire's company, Redlegs Lumper Service, is a classic example of building a successful niche business within the trucking industry.
A lot of people ask McGuire why is the company is called Redlegs, and why the workers are called "lumpers."As far as the Redlegs moniker goes, McGuire is a member of an Ohio National Guard artillery unit.
Red is the artillery branch's official color, and artillerymen are known the world over as "redlegs." Many of his fellow guardsmen were also his first employees when he started the company in 1992, and so the "Redlegs" name fit.

 The Straight Dope: Why were the Cincinnati Reds once known as the Redlegs?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
When the team was first formed in 1890, it was known as the Red Stockings--quite a mouthful for tight-lipped midwesterners, who soon shortened it to Redlegs, and then to Reds.
The official name of the company that owns the team now is "Cincinnati Reds, Inc."--although no one in the organization is exactly sure when the change in names took place, thanks to the rather casual record-keeping that prevailed in the early days of baseball.
After McCarthy fell from the scene, the team went quietly back to being the Reds (no outbreak of Bolshevik activity was immediately apparent), but among native Cincinnatians of a certain age, "Redlegs" remains the preferred appellation to this day.
