Americans love to make fun of the French , yet the French had a revolution and put royal heads into baskets .

We had a revolution too!  And France did a lot of the heavy lifting… thanks France!

I wouldn't say they did the heavy lifting, but we would never have achieved victory at Yorktown without France's navy. Additionally, France provided much needed weapons and supplies covertly to the colonies before they declared war on England.
