It is still possible that the French Revolution can be involved as well. If this protagonist is young during the American Revolution, then it means he will still be in fit age and condition 25 years later when Napoleon rises. He can go to Europe and Egypt maybe... if need be... They may even resort to a seperate game to cover that later half of the protagonist's life.
