They didn't. They admired him. After all he was half American. His mother was Jenny Jerome, an American socialite.

There's even a US naval destroyer named after him.

They didn't hate him but initially they had little confidence in him. He had a reputation as a drinker and FDR was quoted upon hearing of his appointment "I guess that's the best they got" Soon Churchill started to change his initial perception by the American politicians and so did his popularity. He may have been a lot of things but a defeatist he was not. Americans came to admire that in him. As WW2 came to a close a rift between FDR and Churchill started over the fact that FDR did not support the hard line on Soviets that Churchill wanted. Churchill saw the President as selling out to the Soviets demands and occupations.
