You have the french to thank for that. They supplied the arms and money necessary to defeat the English. By rights, you should be speaking French. Ironically, America has always treated the French most uncharitably despite Louis XVI losing his head so "Americans" could gain independence.
The French got France back from the Axis in WWII thanks to Americans so we're even.
Ooh, that attitude REALLY gets on my thrupenny bits (British English colloquialism - look it up).
The French got France back thanks to the ALLIES, not just America.
