Connor says that "he'll fight the enemy, regardless of their allegiance," which surely means that he'll be killing Patriots. I think that worrying about killing exclusively British people is kind of a silly thing to worry about, since this is the American Revolution and historically a tons of Brits ambushed by American guerillas, but a whole lot of Patriots also died. Not to mention, the developers have confirmed that there will be American targets in the game.
