That’s nuts considering the French helped with it, both militarily and financially. The Americans then didn’t even pay France back, and that caused problems with France. Eventually, the US bought the Louisiana territory from the French so the French could continue to fund their fight against the British. Despite the rude lack of payment by the Americans, the French gave the US the Statue of Liberty as a gift to celebrate the USA’s 100th birthday, liberal democracy, and the abolition of slavery.
In France not even a mention about it if i remeber .
