Paul Revere was a citizen of the British colony of Massachusetts. He was born in America but was, at least until the American Revolution technically a British subject as were all colonists at the time. After the war, Revere like all colonist who chose to remain in America, was an American.

His cry thought every Middlesex town that "The British are coming!" referred to the British regulars who were marching toward Lexington and Concord, and in fact according to Revere's memoirs, his exact phrase was "The regulars are coming out!" He would not have said that the British were coming because in his mind he was British as well.
