French Contributions to the US during the revolution
Majority of weapons and military related supplies came from French.
French threatened British in other areas like the West Indies and Europe
The French Navy threatened seaward approaches.
The French Army made American threat at Yorktown credible.
The French gave us many soldiers for the war, including LaFayette.
Major conrtibution not during the revolution
Plus, they gave us The Statue Of Liberty.
Without them, we could all be British right now! (not that that's a bad thing) July 4th would have been insignificant if the french didnt help us in our greatest time of need.
So, have you thanked a frenchman today? 
Those are good reasons to hate the French
What's so bad about being British?
