He was a British subject until after the revolution. This happened before the revolution. So he fought on the side of the British against the French and their Indian allies.

Chocoholic is on the right track. He was a British subject and as a military person had to follow orders just as our soldiers in Iraq have to follow orders. He did, however, read Thomas Payne, gave much of his fortune to overthrow British control of America, and turned down the offer to be America's king in favor of a limited-term presidency with checks and balances of a congress. He also helped write the Bill of Rights, the 1st 10 ammendments to the constitution... something that Bush seems to completely ignore other than to try to remove those rights.

He was a British subject at the time. Many of our Founding Fathers Hated the idea of breaking away from England, but were convinced by the series of taxes imposed on the colonies without the courtesy of allowing the colonies any vote in Parliment.
For many, the final straw was a decree that colonists must offer housing and food to the British soldiers that were sent to enforce these taxes and other oppressive laws.
