Because the War was actually against the French and Indians against the British and American colonies. The Americans were having problems with the Indians. They were taking stuff from the Indians, like food, clothes, ect. And the French and British were having problems too. So the French and Indians decided to be Allies and fight against the British and American colonies while they were allies.
Extra:
The War came before the American Revolution so that's why the British and Americans were allies. Later they became enemies because America wanted it's independence.
One word: Freedom. (It's MY opinion, and I'm sticking to it.)

Well, prior to the American War of Independence the French and British fought a war known as the French-Indian war. The French were being defeated and the British began taxing the colonists. The Colonists rose up against the British and the French seen this as a good time for revenge. The Patriot army was also lacking a navy that could contend with the technologically superior British Navy. The French fought mostly at sea against the British but did fight in some land battles. Spain also helped the Patriots. P.S I'm Scottish (not British)
