Small by comparison, but true. But I still don't think that has any comparison to the money that The U.S. government loaned them in WWI and WWII. Much more than a repayment on the defaulted loans from the War of Independence. The French have made no comparable effort.
In any even, the French were also trying to help their interests in defeating the British by granting the "colonials" those loans.
