Well, there are lots of reasons, but look at it first from their (Indians) point of view. They saw the colonists, the Americans, as invaders. Yes, some Indians and colonists co-existed peacefully, but not on the whole. The white man believed he was entitled to this land by Manifest Destiny, and thus the Indians were savages, below and beneath the white man. Who wouldn't want to fight against these people? They were trying to take their land, kill them, kill their way of life, of course they helped the British! The British (also white men) said they'd give the land back to the Indians if they won!
