In recent years, transatlantic studies have questioned and cross-disciplinary borders and generic boundaries; in parallel, the origin of these studies is in multiple crossings that united different geographical locations that share access to the Atlantic Ocean. In this text I propose a review within the transatlantic historiography from the trope of the sea crossing and presence of Bernardo de Galvez in Caribbean and American territory. Specifically, I will focus my perspective on the contributions of Bernardo de Galvez in the independence of the United States and his absence and contributions in history books’ schools and universities as well.
