The American Colonists and their French allies (after the Battle of Saratoga) versus the British. The American Colonists and their French Allies won. The cost of supporting the American Colonists would help to cause the French Revolution.

Primarily the American colonists fought the British, which included all of the coutries in Great Britain: England, Ireland, Scottland & Wales. However, the line between American and British was not nearly as clear in the 18th century as it is today as much of the colony population was less than a few generations removed from having lived in the UK and regular trade and communications continued with businesses and families back in the UK. Therefore, there was a significant portion of the colonial population considered to be loyal to the Brtish crown meaning the enemies came from within the 13 colonies, as well as fom the UK et al.

The British also enlisted the help of other groups, such as the Hessians (extremely well trained mercenary German soldiers) and some Native North American Indian tribes.

Canada was also a British territory at the time of the American revolution and due to it's geographical separation in the east by the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence river, Canada played a role as a safe haven for the British Loyalists and troops during the numerous battles. While there were some skirmishes on and near what is now considered Canadian territory, the American Colonists never declared war on Canada

It has been said that many American colonial leaders wanted to pursue the British into Canada but eventually relented due to the mounting cost of the war, which had been running for 8 years, most of which were filled with some of the most brutal winters experienced in colonial hstory.

If by "Americans," you mean colonists, then they fought the British. Americans didn't exist during the American Revolution, because they were still British subjects.
