Throughout the early part of the 18th century, English raiders, accompanied by their Native American allies of the Creek and Yamasee nations, attacked Spanish settlements in northern Florida. All of the Spanish missions were destroyed, and most of the Timucua and Apalachee were killed, captured as slaves, or driven into exile.</I> Of course many examples could be posted. Americans are not learnt it in school but America would not have gained its independence without the assistance of the Catholic King of Spain (so much for George Washington and avoiding foreign entanglements). The Continental Congress petitioned King Charles and received tons of money and material from Spain which helped Amships get into N'Awlin's via Cuba with false flags etc. Were it not for Spanish troops kicking Perfidious Albion's arse on the Mississippi and in the FL panhandle the outcome would have been different, but, one can't have official Govt-Prot history tell that to the kiddies. I mean, they were Catholics AND Spanish for Heaven's sake. Note - when I get back a book I have loaned out I will post another response. Have a Blessed Advent, brother Dr. Sent at: 2008 07 04
