BengalszoneBilly Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 Bernando Galvez search it, then give respect!Isn't it that dude that sells coffee? Quote
Stripes Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 Sounds like the guy did play an important role in the Revolution, but I don't see any comparison (for better or worse) to George Washington. According to what little I've read here, Galvez's involvement was minimal... His influence was effective in Spanish controlled regions of modern day U.S.A., but beyond that, he did very little. Spain's involvement in the war was minimal in itself, at least as compared to that of the French. Quote
Spain Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Posted September 16, 2006 He is the guy who won your Independence.Dig a little deeper, he took the South of the US to Ohio and controlled the Mississippi. While Washington hadnt won a battle. The English surendered because he was beatin them so bad. Solo Yo, is what he said when he to peniscula florida with one Ship. How do you do a link? Quote
Stripes Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 The English surrendered once Washington had cornerned Cornwallis at Yorktown... I'm not convinced Galvez was involved in the least. Beyond offering the American troops supplies in the south and fighting off the British south of Georgia, there isn't much on him that I can find. Quote
Spain Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Posted September 16, 2006 He was supplying Washington and had taken the South of the us while Washington was struggling. He was buying the frnch Ships. Revisionist history sucks. His Army of Cajuns, blacks and Indians won that war. How can I get a link up? Quote
Stripes Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 PM me the URL you want to link and I'll put it up for you. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 How do you do a link?The old "Copy and Paste" from your address bar should suffice if you're not familiar with the hyperlink button above the text field. Quote

Stripes Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 www.thecajuns.comgalvezw.htmLooks like a dead link to me. Are you sure that's all of it? *edit* - Well now I see it's constructed wrong.This might be what you're looking for... http://www.thecajuns.com/galvezrw.htm Got from a link through TheCajuns. Quote
Spain Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Posted September 16, 2006 Remeber that name, he was the general in the south that supplied Washington and won the war. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 Remeber that nameWhy, is there a test or something ??He is the guy who won your Independence.Spain, while I am MORE than willing to give credit where credit is due, aren't you going just a bit overboard with this statement ?? He is but one person who did extraordinary things during that period of our Country and in that war in general, but to say, "He is the guy who won your Independence" is crazy !!!Don't you have some packing to do ??WHODEY !!!

Spain Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Posted September 16, 2006 The fact that the guy gets no respect Army, He walked the English. If he wasnt there the colonies would have lost the War. Quote
Stripes Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 The fact that the guy gets no respect Army, He walked the English. If he wasnt there the colonies would have lost the War.That's quite a stretch, but even if it were true, the same can be said about many things.If Washington wasn't there, the colonies would have lost the war.If the French didn't save us at Saratoga, the colonies would have lost the war.Et cetera...

ArmyBengal Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 Many people get no respect for what they did during that period Spain... What about all the slaves at that time that fought for a country that looked upon them as if they were animals, to gain their freedom ?? The cause would have been lost if it were not for the slaves... You could do a search on google and come up with 100's of names that were instrumental during that war that were barely heard of and got no respect.Were you related to this guy and feel slighted or some sh*t ??WHODEY !!!

Spain Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Posted September 16, 2006 Galvez taking the South won the War, yet till today I didnt know he was. Thats sad. Quote
