Hmmm...the French didn't give the American insurgents help until 1780 (did you see "The Patriot?"), it was a token battle group, and then only because the French could spare the ships after a cease fire with the British. The French thought that (a) this would be a good thorn in the side of the British, and (b) could secure the commercial advantages Ben Franklin was promising in Paris, both at minimal cost.
Gratitude? Can you say "Diem Biem Phu?" Talk about heroes? Any American GI or French Underground in WWII vs. DeGaul hiding in London? Chirac's latest speel against the Eastern Europeans? Puhleeze. I have studied French history at length and your arrogance is without basis. When is the last (or first?) time the French liberated anybody? You must be kidding by bringing up the Caribbean and Latin America! The French were absolute butchers! The only reason you sold us Louisiana is so you would have enough gold to pursue domination of all of Europe. Hmmm...didn't your present partner try that in the middle of the 20th Century, too?
