9/10
Woot! Missed one dang it.
There’s a promise I need you to make
While I’m gone you take care of the love
And I’ll deal with the hate.
Don’t worry about me; I’ll be all right
Just care for your children and sleep tight
I’ll keep you safe on my watch tonight

Only 6/10 for me, but in my defence it is an American quiz! How am I supposed to know where troops rested? And Boston Massacre? 5 dead, I've been to family disputes with those sort of casualties! Treaty of Paris? They're having a laugh. How did the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys get involved?

I got 10/10......history is my bag baby. As for the French, they were our allies in the Revolution. Due to their history of wars with the English, they alligned on our side. They sent advisors such as Layfette to help us out. Though never directly involved in Combat, if the war had lasted a little longer I think they would have.

Then you would have lost, we would have sent a proper Army to fight the French (it's in our blood) and the Froggies would have surrendered, as usual. Originally Posted by beans43
