Yes or no? I am sure that French revolutionaries would’ve loved American support, if we had a need to really provide. We were barely able to deal with the pirates in the Barbary states and we’re existing under a mountain of crippling debt at the time, and at the time that the American revolution had happened we had agreed to beneficial trade agreements with France and we’re fighting what France and United States believed to be almost a complete foreign power. France was undergoing a very internal struggle that was entirely land-based. We couldn’t send an entire army to support them because we didn’t really have one to send.
