There's no conspiracy to keep this silent, just lazy, unimaginative, consensus-following historians.

France helped fledgling revolutionaries during the War of Independence, but the real external force that helped patriots was Spain.

They didn't do it for noble causes. They just wanted to push back the Brits and grab some more North American land for themselves.
