>>23899711France sided with you because it was in their interest to do so given they were at war with the British. What people also forget is that right after you threw off the yoke the French did the same with their own monarchy.
America is exceptional in a historical context, without a doubt. It created itself, and the western world then recreated itself in its image. At the time of founding, it was unprecedented and the men who founded it do not receive nearly enough respect.
The idea that Americans are ignorant blowhard idiots is a complete fallacy. They literally redefined the world they lived in which in turn defined the world we live in today.
Unfortunately, same as mine and many other western nations, those founding ideals have been lost and cast aside by malicious governing practices and a judiciary high off of its own farts at all time.
Our leadership in the west are the most unworthy successors to ever exist. There is nothing more pathetic, grovelling and spineless than a Canadian politician.
