The British were supported by the Onondaga, Mohawk, Cayuga, Seneca, Cherokee and German soldiers known as Hessians.

The Indians who supported the crown during the Revolution were often found fighting along side the British soldiers. These Indians were promised rewards by the British following the war but were often killed or imprisoned.
Among combattants--soldiers who actually took part in the fighting--there were: - British regular army (commonly referred to as "Redcoats"); - Loyalist militias composed of people living in the American colonies but wishing to remain British subjects; - Hessian (German) mercenaries hired to fight on behalf of the British. Among civilians, there were some who supported the King and some who supported the revolution.
France supported the American revolution (they were already at war with England at the time).

American Revolutionists.
Since Germany was not yet a single country at the time of the American Revolution, it is not possible to say which side the country supported. However, the Germanic mercenaries that fought in the American Revolution fought for the British against the Americans.
They supported the British army, and some fought alongside the British. But many were forced to flee their homes and farms because of threats and violence by the supporters of independence.
If you were a Patriot in the American Revolution you were an American against the British.
