Americans have long had a rich if complicated relationship with
France. They adore all things French, especially food and fashion.
They visit the country and learn the language. Historically,
Americans have also been quick to blame France at certain times of
international crisis, and find fault with their handling of
domestic issues. Despite ups and downs, the friendship between the
countries remains very strong. The author explains the strength of
Franco-American relations lies in the diplomatic ties that extend
back to the founding of the United States, but more importantly, in
the French DNA that is imprinted on American culture. The French
were the first Europeans to settle the regions now known as
Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas and
Arkansas-and Frenchman remained in Louisiana after the land was
purchased by the United States. This book explores the effects that
France has had on American culture, and why modern Americans of
French descent are so fascinated by their ancestry.
