At the time, Americans were British! They were British colonists! Of course they were allies! The British colonists in America wanted French land and Great Britain wanted to take over the fur trade in North America.
Following the French and Indian War (or The Seven Years' War), the British and French still had clear, bitter tensions among one another. The French wanted to get revenge for the British's actions in the French and Indian War.

However, in 1777, at the Battle of Saratoga, the colonist victory proved to the French that the Colonial Army was capable of taking on the British.
