True - I don't think there was ever much political support for the war, in fact it was seen as a convenient way of removing some unpopular politicians back home - things don't change much !

It is however a requirement for any Brits living in America to point out the French role in the creation of the USA (it's in the small print in the back of the passport)

Interestingly the later French involvement was seen as a good thing by some of the British, it allowed them to seize French territory in India which seemed at the time a lot more valuable than some troublesome colony.
