Britain was, at the time, ruling America. Their king was the king of the American colonies, and Britain's Parliament made decisions about the colonies. Britain was what the Americans were rebelling against. The American colonists, tired of British rule, rose up and won the American Revolution, shaking off Britain's main hold of the new continent.
