I was raised in Cahokia IL. Understand there is the town of Cahokia just south of E.St.Louis and Cahokia Mounds which is closer to Collinsville. Can you clear up (my mind) on which area the attack on “Cahokia” took place. TY! Didn’t know this history but knew Cahokia (town) was just as old if not older than St. Louis.
As Spaniard I never heard of our role in US independence until 6 months ago that I knew about the Bernardo de Galvez recognition on the US Congress, since then I have learned a few things and I think is a very interesting topic.
One of my ancestors was living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and joined de Galvez to fight in support of the American Revolution. My ancestor was French by birth. Gov. de Galvez is an official patriot in the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Galveston is a pretty cool little town Ling strip w the beach n seawall n the harbor on the other side... I enjoyed my time there.. happy new year from Chicago
GREAT, AWESOME PRESENTATION!!!!!! The best source I have found on this battle so far! Thank you!!!! Where is Sacina(c)? The "Very large Indian village of 5000"? I can't find any reference to it.
If the British had won that battle Missouri could have remained a part of La Nouvelle-France and would today be a part of Canada... 🍁. The srangest thing to me was that Spaniards took part in that war as they were as ambitious as the Americans to expand their own empire over Las Americas. I'm so glad that US expansion was stopped here in Canada when Americans tried to invade it. This is why we still have this saying here: Yankee go home... They bring bloody war wherever they go. 🍁☮🍀
Yeah, Spain entered the war not as an American ally but as an ally of the French. It was a co-belligerent rather than an ally. And at the end the Spanish got British East Florida and British West Florida back after losing it 20years earlier (for all the good it did them).
@@AttilatheNun-xv6kc The Spaniards weren't that friendly with the French... They massacred all the French they found at La Belle Rivière in Florida so none of them could escape and tell anyone about their incursion in Florida. ⚜⛵
@@carywest9256 Yes sir it is war and when the only weapon left you have is insult, know that any of your foes are ready to eat you alive... By the way what happenned to the trees you had left in TEJAS? They were set afire by your own resident evil. ❤🔥

My ancestors were there. They lost their son who was in the field. Thanks for educating us.

I was raised south of Houston. On the Old Galveston Road.
Galveston = Galvez Town...
