British Subject

I have a family who went to the USA in 1884 and returned to the IoM 6 years later. While in the USA they had 3 children. In the 1891 Douglas census under where born is recorded for each child "United States Michigan (British Subject)"
Can anyone advise what being a "British Subject" means in the context of records and where they may be kept?
