Russia also played a role in the American Revolutionary War and the American Civil War.
Putin said: "For a long time, we have maintained a very good and special relationship with the United States. We supported their desire to break away from Britain. We actually provided weapons. We provided financial aid... Later, during the Civil War, we supported the North."
"Therefore, in this sense, we found something that connects us." said Putin.

TASS introduced that during the American Revolutionary War, Russia remained neutral, which "played an important role in the outcome of the war," and after the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, Russia also chose to support the Northern government led by Lincoln. The Northern government later won the war.
