#3 Americans are famous for finding their way to help the oppressed. A poem from about American led Irish Brigade, circa 1901 or thereabouts. Author long dead and gone.

On the mountainside the battle raged, there was no stop or stay;
Mackin captured Private Burke and ensign Michael Shea, Fitzgerald got Fitzpatrick, Brannigan found O'Rourke;
Finnigan took a man named Fay and a couple of lads from Cork. Sudden they heard McManus shout, "Hands up, I'll run you through,"
He thought it was a Yorkshire Tyke - 'twas Corporal Donaghue!
McGarry took O'Leary, O'Brien got McNamee,
That's how the English fought the Dutch at the Battle of Dundee.

All the while, the US Gov't was selling huge numbers of horses, tack, wagons, and not a few contract teamsters to the British. So much so that it created an actual shortage going into WW1. Some things, they simply never change.
