The Colonists, which became Americans after the war, fought against the British. The British hired many Hessian mercenaries to fight in the colonies. And the Colonists eventually convinced the French to side with them.England

Iroquois Indians, but eventually chose the British side.
Practically all 13 colonies fought for their independence but some people in some colonies were fence-sitters (couldn't decide) or loyalists (was still loyal to the British and was on British side).
They fought among themselves.
Most of the Iroquois fought on the British side. The Oneida stayed neutral for the first two years and then joined the colonists.
Many American Indians chose to side with the British during the Revolutionary War due to the threat posed by American expansion into their territories. The British had a longstanding policy of limiting colonial expansion westward, which appealed to Native tribes seeking to protect their lands and way of life. Additionally, some tribes believed that a British victory would provide them with better opportunities to maintain their autonomy compared to the American colonists, who were eager to settle and expand further into Indian territories.
