Actually, CA has stated on more than one occasion that the U.S. will be playable in the main campaign as well (albeit as an emergent faction, of course). I believe how it will work is that *if* the Colonies rebel (which isn't guaranteed to happen -- it's supposedly situational-dependent, much like the possibility of a Jacobite uprising), you'll have the choice to either continue playing as the British or switch over to playing as the Americans.

At least, that's my impression of how it will work. CA has been a little vague on the subject (of playing as the USA in the main campaign), so I may have the details completely wrong.
