Abstract:

French commerce and military aid to the colonies helped to fill the trade vacuum left by British commerce loss. French exports to America reached a high level in the 1780s. Trade directed toward North Carolina was extensive because larger American ports were blockaded or occupied by the British during the Revolution. Additionally, naval stores, North Carolina's major export, figured into the French-American trade, although only slightly.
