Equestrian Statue of George Washington

In 1900, the Daughters of the American Revolution donated this awesome statue of George Washington designed by the American sculptor Daniel Chester French to the people of France. The text of the statue reads: "gift of the women of the United States of America in memory of the brotherly help given by France to their fathers in the fight for Independence."

We would not be a nation today without the financial help and the deaths of thousands of French soldiers during our fight for independence against the tyranny of the British. On top of the 2,112 men the French lost on our behalf, they also spent 1.3 billion livres which would ultimately bankrupt the French government and send them into an unholy spiral that was their Revolution which the world has yet to recover from.

Speaking of the Revolution, its savior, Napoleon, really admired George Washington. After hearing that he had died, Emperor Napoleon actually ordered 10 days of mourning throughout France as a sign of respect to one of the greatest men to have ever lead in the West.

We may need the French’s help again against the tyranny of what this nation’s government has become. The Founding Fathers would be ashamed of the depth, scope, scale, corruption, degeneracy, violence, and oppression of the Global American Empire against its enemies and even its own people.
