The Original Supporters of American Independence?

Article currently contains this quote: "...which did not fit well with the vast British Empire being now supported by America in a war against the original supporters of American independence which was furthermore squarely against American interest.[1]" Is this implying Germany somehow qualifies as "the original supporters of American independence?" Because America and Britain were at war with Germany. But Germany was not even a nation-state during the American War for Independence. France is the country that most would consider "the original supporters of American independence," but neither Britain nor America was at war with France in 1917, they were allied. This sentence makes no sense as written. Sailboatd2 (talk) 18:07, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
