Why did the US began to favor Britain and France?

America seems hell bent on supporting the UK. Why? I have no idea. They have done NOTHING for us and will continue to do nothing for us. England always looks out for England first. France on the other had has paid through the nose to help us. Without them we would not have become a country. They gave us the Statue of Liberty. I feel we have an obligation to support them and we have through two world wars. I hope that in the future we will continue to support them.
