Different war maybe...French helped in the Revolutionary War and later to some smaller extentent in the Civil War. The exact details are not available at my fingertips at the moment....and as well it's late. Don't know about the War of 1812, but now plan to go learn about that one better. Found a new history topic to explore! Thanks Ravells
Have time to read during my travels...
War of the Independence of Texas is a whole other football match. Texas was an independent country, a Republic, for 11 years, after gaining its independence from Mexico. In my opinion it's some very colorful and fascinating history. You have to read a lot of sources though because there are at least two sides to every history...particularly when it deals with such topics.
