Connor's still an Assassin, I doubt he'll go after anyone who doesn't deserve it.

Though I doubt you can generalize and assume every single Colonial is fighting purely for independence or justice - same goes for the British and colonizing or oppressing. That might be why it'd be better to have him killing both sides, since intention isn't based purely on allegiance.
