[edit] Contributions from Spain

1. Money loans

The first recorded moneys were two million livres in hard currency and war materiel. Thus, the United States currency, the Continental, was secured by Spanish silver dollars.

This should also be mentioned of "dummy" trading companies.

2. Other Military Fronts: Major Forts on the Mississippi River.

3. Observers more importantly Juan de Miralles.

Need to be somehow listed or panned out to be explained or looked over. --68.209.227.3 00:54, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
