And before some smartass brings up something about the french helping us out, they didn't actually fight the battles, ffs. They just supplied us with extra weapons and equipment. We were still poorly armed compared to the brits.
The colonists are the ones who actually did the fighting, for the most part. We might've also had a little bit of help from some of the native american population.

Wrong.
"During the Revolution, France sent an estimated 12,000 soldiers and 32,000 sailors to the American war effort, the most famous of whom was the Marquis of Lafayette."
"Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette, known in the United States as Lafayette, was a French aristocrat and military officer who fought in the American Revolutionary War, commanding American troops in several battles, including the siege of Yorktown."
