Louisiana Revolutionary War Patriots

During the American Revolution, the Louisiana territory, including MS, AL, parts of GA and the FL panhandle were under Spanish rule. While Spain did not declare war on England until 1779, the Spanish government encouraged the Governor of Louisiana, Bernardo De Galvez, to support the revolution which he did by smuggling supplies (gunpowder, muskets, uniforms, medicine, etc.) through the British blockade. When Spain declared war on England in 1779, the German-Acadian Coast militia units joined with Galvez's Spanish troops to defeat the English at Manchac and Baton Rouge. Galvez led about 500 Spanish soldiers and Louisiana militia men against the British, capturing Pensacola, Mobile, Biloxi & Natchez, denying the enemy the ability to encircle the American rebels. Galvez was officially recognized by George Washington for his aid during the American Revolution,
which qualifies the descendants of those militia men to become members of Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) or Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) as Patriots.
