After the French Indian war, Britain decided to leave an army in the American colonies. The colonists saw that as an occupation army to strenghten British control over them. The English Government however saw it as a protection for the colonists in case the French should renew the war and invade from Canada. Britain thought it reasonable that the cost of a 'protection' army should therefore be borne by the colonists. The colonists however were incensed that they should pay and house the soldiers sent to control them.
The French were still bitter about losing to the British in the French and Indian War so the French allied with the Americans to avenge themselves from their lose against Britain.
France helped the colonists in the Revolutionary War after the battle of Saratoga in which the colonists proved they had a chance in winning the war. However, France only helped the colonists because they were mad at Britain and did not want Britain to win the war.
The British Colonists in America were sympathetic to Britain in the 1700's, but they provided only limited moral support. Remember that the colonists had left Britain in seeking a better opportunity and relief from the interminable British-French wars, so they basically stayed away.
