lol. oh man, that's hilarious. Stay in school, kids.
I believe they meant to protect North American territories from French capture, not necessarily to prevent individual bodily harm, but that doesn't fit as nicely in meme format.
So… they saved the land, not the people. It’s like cutting employee salaries to avoid a takeover from another company. Don’t worry everyone… we “saved” you.
The territories were the things the US founding fathers cared about. They were almost all rich -- or at least formerly rich like Samuel Adams.
lol. Because education systems are always based on accuracy.
That has very little to do with the historicity of whether England "saved you from the French."
I understood later that the comment was a joke about the french actually being allies because we hated england too
