Should the US have officially supported the French revolutionaries against the British?

Answer 1

The French did support the Americans some what in the war, however, only on a colonial point of view, with 13,500 French colonists joining the American Ranks and vast numbers of weapons and supplies being given to the miltia. French and British colonies were at war but not France and Britain themselves as the British had all but destroyed the French Fleet in the Seven Year War, the only thing that could stop the British from invading France itself would be a fleet, and since there wasn't a fleet that could stand up to the British Navy anymore a European War would have been foolish.

Answer 2

Though the US did not exist at the time of the French Revolution and thus could not have supported it, the French Revolution and the American Revolution happened only a few years apart and were closely linked in their democratic ideology. That being said, the French revolution was bloody, chaotic and soon spun out of control. The US should not have supported the French Revolution and its mass executions.

Answer 3

yes,the french were a huge asset to the american volition!but sharp political conflict developed and two patties formed.
