They did chop off some heads on a regular basis for a while. I guess we could do that.

We called them Freedom Fries for quite sometime, but I really don't think they are French.

Fantastic voice, but poor enunciation, I couldn't understand a word of it.

Also, in fairness, the French Revolution didn't exactly stick, ya know?
What France did, however, was provide/inspire some of the political theory and philosophy behind the American revolution, through the writings of French thinkers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In that respect, the French arguably 'led the way' in political philosophy. French philosphers and writers did much to create the cultural context for revolution in America and then later in France; and very nearly in Britain.
