Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ih 1664 we were Englishmen...

From 1664 until 1775 we as Englishmen fought the French on US soil just about every year for those 100+ years...

My Irish born Englishman ancestor was killed by the French and Indians at Lake George in 1755..His FIL fought the French in 1711...

Except for 2 short periods 1775-1783 and 1812-1814...about 10 years ...when we fought major battles against the English crown...

we have been allies ...sometimes best chums and sometimes cautiously...but allies..

maybe Carry is referring to Jefferson and his French naturality and how close we must be to France because of that...

Mon Dieu

We also fought a Quasi-War with the French during their Revolution. 1798 to 1800.
