We're still so young
Just imagine....
The imperial period of Rome lasted approximately 1,500 years compared to the 500 years of the Republican era

No, it was when Mel Gibson knocked Jason Isaacs off the horse, using the American flag as a pike.

Still winning, 236 years later

Let's not forget to thank our French allies. Without their fleet winning the Battle of the Capes, Cornwallis would have never been forced to surrender.

Not to mention That fully half of Washington's army was made up of French Regulars.
Bottom line, without France, we'd still be British subjects.

Bottomline without a shite-ton of Mercenaries hired by the Crown, we wouldn't have needed allies. Two-way street.

Merci beaucoup. Vive la France. Vive la liberte.
But it was really a team effort. Washington in the north. Irregular guerrilla warfare in the south. France. The Congress having the balls to declare independence.
Everyone had a part.
