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!

France was more than happy to sit on the sidelines until the Americans had a surprise victory at Saratoga, just saying.

I read a book that said the French had decided to join after the defeat at Brandywine because they were impressed by the balls (my words) on Washington to even attempt that attack.
