Uh actually, there would probably not be an America either if it hadn’t been for some of our allies, one of them being the French, who helped us enormously during our Revolution! They weren’t the only reason we won our independence, of course, but one of them; along with some Polish fellows and some Germans, and a few American Indian leaders! So we did owe them something. That said, I believe we paid them back quite a bit!
The French didn’t help much at all during our revolution. It was mainly the Germans and Poles that actually did the work. You don’t think those weasely French were good for anything even back then, do you? Ok, Lafayette, but he’s the only good one.
