Answer:

  • The French gave the colonists money and supplies in secret.
  • The Spanish closed the Port of New Orleans to the British

Step-by-step explanation:

The French helped in the Revolutionary war in no small way by providing the American colonists with money and supplies. They did this in secret at first and then became more public about it such that they even sent soldiers to fight alongside the Colonists.

The Spanish also helped by closing off the port of New Orleans to the British and even using it to stage attacks against them. They did this because they were allied to France and therefore in effect, the Colonists as well.
