	French American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A French American or Franco-American is a citizen of the United States of America of French descent and heritage.
		Often, Franco-Americans are identified more specifically as being of French Canadian (the French in Canada had very high birth rates, which is why their population was large even though immigration from France was relatively low), Cajun, or Creole descent.
		An important part of Franco-American history is the Quebec diaspora of the 1840s-1930s, in which hundreds of tens of thousands of French Canadians moved to the United States, principally to the New England states and Michigan.

		It seeks to strengthen the French American relationship.
		The French internships provide students with valuable, hands-on work experience, to encourage them to pursue topics in strengthening France USA relations in their French academic programs and/or French leadership programs, and to deepen understanding of France USA societies among the younger generations by raising French American awareness of the French American issues affecting both countries.

	PERSPECTIVE on the FRENCH-AMERICAN ALLIANCE
		However, without the French military presence, the American colonists felt confident in dealing with the Indians on their own and were reluctant to support the continued expense of deployed English forces overseas.
		French aid to the US may have hastened the financial difficulties that contributed to the French Revolution, but the causes of the latter were far more complex.
		Most authors that claim French aid was not decisive or essential usually do not address the mutinies occurring in the American army and many signs of discouragement growing in the American community (which was never as united as popular myth suggests) as the duration of the war extended.

	Why do the French hate us? By Chris Suellentrop
		Much of the French opposition to American power arose after the fall of the Soviet Union made the United States the only power in a unipolar world: According to one poll, the percentage of the French who viewed the United States "with sympathy" dropped from 54 to 35 percent between 1988 and 1996.
		De Gaulle decided never to depend on the Americans again, and though he was an ally of the United States, he was an exceptionally cranky one, pursuing détente with the Soviet Union, withdrawing militarily from NATO, and establishing an independent French nuclear force.
		French identity is similar to American identity—France sees itself as a great nation worthy of power, the birthplace of democracy, and a culture and system of government that the world would be wise to emulate.

	French or Foe? French-American Cultural Differences
		Americans are informal, Protestant and dedicated to achievement — which often means making money, as in, "The business of America is business." They like questions to be simple and straightforward, and proposals to be concrete, boiled down to a paragraph; a sentence, if possible, and a short one.
		Americans, Germans, Scandinavians, Swiss, Canadians, Dutch and Britons are strict monochronics; the rest of the billions of the world's inhabitants are polychronics in varying degrees.
		American leaders were in a hurry to get their boys to Baghdad; they counted on their ability to "confound and awe" to bring them a quick victory.

	French Navy Web Page
		The French naval success at the Second Battle of the Virginia Capes in September 1781 was ‘the keystone' of the Yorktown Campaign, and provides dramatic testimony of the French Navy's contribution to the American cause in that theater of operations.
		In all due respect to the modest Continental and American state navies, and to the spectacular performances of the American privateers, it was the Royal French Navy that was the only ‘standing navy' to serve the American army in terms of engaging British naval formations and supporting land operations in North America.
		However, as important as the North American theater was, the French Navy forced the British to fight a global war that reached from the Hudson Bay to the Indian Ocean, from Newfoundland to the northen coast of South America and western coast of Africa.

	The French Contribution to the American War of Independence
		The French government hoped to redress the balance of power that resulted from the French humiliation in the Seven Years Wars, which gave considerable economic and military advantages to Britain.
		French land and sea forces fought on the side of the American colonists against the British.
		From the perspective of the American Revolution, however, the high point of French support is the landing of five battalions of French infantry and artillery in Rhode Island in 1780.

	The American Enemy: The History of French Anti-Americanism by Philippe Rogerk
		French anti-Americanism is not a recent fever we could use polls to chart, correlating the fluctuations with any given episode of Franco-American relations.
		At the end of the nineteenth century, Americanism meant, in the United States, a set of values judged to be constituent parts of a national identity, as well as the attitude of those who adopted them and attempted to conform their personal identity to this national ideal.
		French anti-Americanism has mostly been approached up to now as one of the aspects of an ambivalent, ambiguous, contradictory relationship—a flip side of the coin that is nonetheless recognized as the much more visible side.

	Positive Liberty » Blog Archive » The French and American Revolutions:
		Now, by the French Revolution, we don’t mean just the limited historical event; what we mean is the emergence of what we understand as modern liberal democracy because in the French Revolution, ultimately what it was about was a revolution in favor of the principles of liberty and equality.
		Obviously the American approach to liberty and equality turned out to be superior to the French for no other reason than their society went into convulsions and ours didn’t (but then again, they had an established Church to disestablish, and a monarchy to unseat).
		Indeed, the American Constitution is entirely Godless save for the customary way of stating the date, “In the Year of our Lord” and in invoking the “blessings” of liberty (and the French, likewise refer to natural rights as “sacred”).
