Yes, the two sides fought with the Americans winning. The British had set up 13 colonies and the people who went to live in the colonies were called colonists, and later to become Americans. The colonists claimed to have "No Taxation Without Representation" from King George III and British Parliament which was mainly the reason why the Americans wanted war with the British. The colonists who fought for America were called Patriots,or Rebels(later to be known as Americans) and the people from the colonies who sided with the British were called Tories, or Loyalists. After a 8 year long war the Continental Army,led by George Washington, had beaten the professional British and had become the United States of America.
