Between 1779 and 1783 several Spanish troops provided aid to the Americans in their fight against the British Crown's troops in the American Revolutionary War. Also had some Spanish who participated in the American troops. Some of the Spanish who participated in the war stayed in the US. Maybe the more notable case was starred by Jorge Farragut, the Spanish lieutenant of the South Carolina Navy in the war. He settled in Mississippi and his son, David Farragut, excelled in the American Civil War. Many other Hispanics and Latinos emigrated also in the former British colonies in the eighteen century. So between end of this century and early of nineteenth century, emigrated people of origins such as the Spanish and Honduran to the United States (some Hondurans that emigrated to early of nineteenth, emigrated in 1820 fleeing the violence of the Honduran war of Independence ).
