I do not agree with part of the article that calls them Americans for fighting over a common foe, when in reality the colonists were British.
The identity of American did not emerge until well after the American Revolution. At that point, they were still British and swore allegiance to the crown. However the patronizing attitudes of Britain towards them, alienated the colonists and thus began the American Revolution to free us from Great Britain.
I disagree with the Americans parts because they were not Americans, but British citizens fighting for the crown against France, like any other British citizen would.
