Because the Americans were stealing their land, stealing their food, and going back on all the agreements they made with the native Indians.

∙ 15y agoMost Native Americans opposed the United States, because Americans kept encroaching on native lands as their settlements moved westward.
Following Great Britain's acquisition of French territory in North America after the end of the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War, King George III issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763 on October 7, the purpose of which was partially to stabilize relations with Native North Americans through regulation of trade, settlement, and the promise of land purchases on the western frontier. So most Native Americans sided with the British.
