>On 23 September, to save the town and protect American property, the Patapsco sailed into the harbor, landed her marines, reinforced with twenty marines from the Merrimack. The troops also manned a gun battery and fanned out through the town.
>At approximately 17:00 the French fired upon the defending forces, which the cannon of the Patapsco answered along with the muskets and cannons of the defending forces. Two Americans were wounded with 150 French killed or wounded.[1][7]
>On 24 September, the French again exchanged cannon and musket fire with the defending forces, and the volume of French fire led the defenders to expect an assault on the town. However, during the night the French abandoned their positions and sailed away.[7]
>On the morning of 25 September, the Merrimack discovered the French ships had sailed away during the night. The Nereid sailed into the town and the capitulation took effect.[8]
>Fearing that the French would return, Watkins asked the two American captains to cruise off the windward side of the island while Nereid secured the island. In ten days of cruising, the Americans captured only one French vessel before stopping off at Willemstad while on their return to Saint Kitts.[8][9]
>Upon their return to Curaçao, the Americans discovered that Watkins had failed to keep his word, and instead of protecting American property, had embargoed forty-one ships in the harbor of which seven were American. The Nereid's commander also impounded a large quantity of specie belonging to Consul Phillips and set British privateers cruising with orders to seize American shipping.
I wish I could see a U.S.A vs U.K war in my lifetime. It would be glorious.

These weren't the same French. They literally killed the King who helped in America's founding and overthrew the French government that did the same. They were essentially an entirely different country that killed our original ally and wanted gib me dats in their stead.
Fuck them quite fucking honestly, and fuck the British too.

Lincoln Evans
They revolted against the monarch that helped us obtain our freedom.
We weren't bothered by them winning until they wanted to be paid money that wasn't theirs and then started attacking our civilian ships when we said no.
Aaron Clark
The French state goes bankrupt to help your little rebellion, 30 years later the now republican French state asked for its money back to be able to fend off the forces of authoritarian European monarchies. >Lol no
Fucking yanks i swear

Isaiah Bell
>The man who we said we'd pay is now dead and the money would go to his killers FTFY
Maybe the Republic shouldn't have killed the King we owed money to. You don't inherent the money owed to your victim.
Gavin Hughes
You owe money to a state not to a man. And paying back money you owe to help the only power in the world who share your values is a smart move anyway, gaining a powerful ally and showing you can be trusted on money matter as you repay your debts.
Brandon Martin
Fuck yanks desu
Jace Powell
The only values early Americans had was jewry They revolted because of taxes, not for "freedom"
When you know this, their behavior of using any excuse to cancel their debt makes perfect sense
Julian Miller
This, america is the triumph of the marchant over the warrior
Chase Cook
The Americans didn't publicly execute British aristocrats.
Asher Jenkins
This is something that I feel isn't mentioned on Veeky Forums enough.
Are Brits perfidious? Of course but if you look at American history they literally cannot stop stabbing people in the back.
The Eternal Burger is much more efficient than the Eternal Anglo. The Anglo can stab 5 people in the back over the course of 100 years, the Burger can basically do that in a single presdential term.
Tyler Foster
Americans are Anglos.

The US has pretty much pioneered and sealed that away
William Hill
Yes, we owed money to the man, not to a state. Read some history, get bent. >repay your debts We're trusted to not pay what's owed to a dead man to his killers. See >Waah waah I didn't get the dead man's money!! I want it for free! Kiiikes!! >The people on this same spot of land once helped you so that means we did a bloo bloo >We assassinated an American ally and overthrew a US allied country! That means we're still friends and you need to pay up!! The state of Frog butt bruising in this thread is ridiculous. If France owed money to the US but we got taken over by Muslim extremists, they wouldn't give the money to the Muslims .. actually, they just might, which WOULD be a betrayal, unlike what we did.
Isaac Martin
>They were essentially an entirely different country that killed our original ally and wanted gib me dats in their stead.
American here and we behaved like total Jews after the French Revolution, refusing to repay loans they’d given us to carry out our revolution, claiming that the debt was somehow owed to the French king and not the French nation.
Hudson Ramirez
>Quasi the War
Isaac Kelly
It was owed to the French King, absolute monarchy. The French Republic killed the King, not only killing who we owed the loans to, but killing a US ally. You don't pay your ally's murderers.
The true Jews were the French for thinking they could pull the wool over our eyes and get free money that wasn't theirs.
Kevin Bennett
>the only power in the world who share your values
Ahem...
Brody Jones
>If France owed money to the US but we got taken over by Muslim extremists, they wouldn't give the money to the Muslims
False analogy, unless said France is muslim extremist too Cause the people who took over France were of the same ideology than the ones who ruled the US (Republicans)
A better anology would be: If China suddently decided to change its type of government and become a Monarchy, would the US debt to China be cancelled?
