LOL. No Americans fought in the Revolutionary War because they were all British subjects.

“Only 3% of Americans fought in the revolution of 1776.”

I think it must have been higher than 3%. I have a dozen ancestors who fought in the state militias and three in the Continental Line. Which to me seems to indicate that participation was pretty broad based.
