The Americans went to war with the British because they felt that the British were unfairly taxing them just to pay off their debts, which they were. The famous slogan: "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION" means just that. There were no people in the British Parliament to represent the Americans. Besides this, the Americans also wanted freedom as a separate country.
If your question was "Were the British part of the American Revolution," the answer is yes they were the enemy of the Americans. The colonists (the Americans) were fighting for their freedom from Britain.
