This was not taught to you in school!
In the year 1789, a Spanish warship named Galvezton, the ship of Bernardo de Gálvez, entered the Port of New York. This Governor and later Viceroy of New Spain, wounded in one of the battles of the American Revolution, had died a few years earlier.
The Ambassador of Spain, Diego de Gardoqui, disembarked an important one, who was received with all the honors.
He already knew George Washington. Diego de Gardoqui’s shipping company was the one who provided weapons, blankets, tents, uniforms, gunpowder, cannons and financial aid after the difficult winter in Valley Forge.
As an example: The Spanish Company of Gardoqui sent in 1777 and 1778, 215 bronze cannons, 4,000 tents, 12,826 grenades, 30,000 carabiners, 30,000 bayonets, 30,000 uniforms, 51,314 rounds of carabiners and 300,000 pounds of gunpowder.
In Philadelphia there is a statue of Diego de Gardoqui. In Gardoqui’s hometown, Bilbao in Spain, there is also a statue of Adams, one of the Fathers of the Nation.
Why so much consideration?
Because Spain was the country that helped the American Revolution the most:
He sent more troops, sent more arms and supplies, provided more financial aid, blocked English aid, participated in more battles and also won more battles than anyone else!
I know it’s hard to believe, but do your research and you will see! They are simply historical facts. Go to the earliest sources, the Founding Fathers of the U.S. recognized it.
