A finales del siglo XIX las trece colonias luchaban contra el yugo británico en lo que conocemos como la guerra de independencia de los Estados Unidos de América. Lo que poca gente sabe es que España tuvo un papel determinante en el sueño de libertad de las colonias. No solo colaboró con enormes cantidades de dinero, comida, mantas y armas, sino que envió miles de soldados encabezados por Bernardo de Gálvez, general y gobernador de Luisiana, a luchar contra ejército británico en la Florida occidental. Descubre por qué este valiente general hizo conocida la frase Yo Solo , siente la emoción de la batalla en primera persona con el regimiento de fusileros de Luisiana, o vive el lado más oscuro de la guerra acompañando a soldados obligados a combatir a miles de kilómetros de su casa, no solo contra los británicos, sino también contra los indios, las inclemencias del tiempo o las enfermedades. **English**: At the end of the nineteenth century, the thirteen colonies were fighting the British yoke in what became known as the war of independence from the United States of America. What few people know is that Spain played a key role in the colonies' dream of freedom. Not only did it help with huge amounts of money, food, blankets and weapons, but it sent thousands of soldiers led by Bernardo de Galvez, a general and governor of Louisiana, to fight the British army in western Florida. Find out why this brave general made the phrase I Alone known, feel the thrill of battle first hand with the Louisiana Riflemen Regiment, or experience the darker side of war by accompanying soldiers forced to fight thousands of miles from home, not only against the British, but also against Indians, bad weather or disease.
