I’m of Spanish descent. I’m sick and tired of these anti-Anglo-American memes
Why is it offensive to talk about this? If they are verifiable Historical Facts.
Nobody better than a Hispanic to understand you.
Because we have more than 200 years of experience in supporting how our language and culture were undervalued. And that it was ignored and hidden that the 13 colonies became independent thanks to Spain
We have seen how the English became the media focus of the U.S. As it was ignored and hidden that the Hspanos were the first to be in this country. That when the English immigrants arrived, the Hispanics were already installed and visited 2/3 of the US That when they arrived in North America, Mexico already had a university almost 100 years before That the Spanish language was the first European language of the US- And that they had to spend in some places in U: S, up to 250 years to begin to speak the English language.
Why? It has been hidden that it was really the Hispanics who managed to make the 13 English colonies independent.
On Land:
Hispanics controlled the Mississippi from Michigan to New Orleans and defeated and expelled the English. The Hispanics controlled the Gulf of Mexico, defeating and expelling the English.
At Sea:
The Hispanics occupied the Bahamas Islands, seizing 70 English ships and preventing them from bringing reinforcements to their troops. . In Europe, Hispanics also cornered an English convoy that was heading with reinforcements to North America, seizing 52 ships and taking 3,000 prisoners.
The Corsairs of the 13 colonies:
had their bases in Cuba where their ships were supplied and repaired. The French Navy was repaired and supplied in Havana and was ordered to go to Yorktown, to block and prevent reinforcements from arriving to the British.
Military aid:
George Washigton’s army was financed and supplied for the most part by Spain. The carabiners, bullets, gunpowder, cannons, tents, medicines and even their uniforms came from Spain. The fabrics for their uniforms were supplied from Alcoy.
Financial assistance:
The money collected by Las Damas de la Habana (1,000,000), made it possible to feed and pay the army in Washington, which was crumbling and had not even enough for shoes.
From the first battle that of Saratoga (Hispanic muskets), until the last that of Yorktown, Hispanic help was decisive.
However this help has been ignored. And the financial aid has not yet been paid. There is an Economic Debt with Spain that was never paid.
